Matt C. Abbott column
Seven priests share Christmas memories
Matt C. Abbott
I wanted to do a column — perhaps more than one — featuring favorite Christmas memories of Catholic priests. I invited a number of priests to participate, and, thus far, I've received responses from Fathers Bruce Ansems, John Hannigan, Tom Hoisington, Samuel Medley, Leo Patalinghug, Scott Courtney and James Farfaglia. Their contributions are below. I invite any Catholic clergy and religious who wish to contribute a "Christmas memory" to e-mail it to me along with the name of your diocese or community and, if possible, a photo of yourself.
(Also, I'd like to express my profound gratitude to all those who have provided me with good information, quotes, words of encouragement and prayers since I've been "online." God bless you and yours this Christmas season!)
