My home diocese is Rochester, New York. The current bishop, Bishop Matthew Clark, confirmed me when I was in grade school, and is a friend of the family. So I try to keep up on what’s going on in the diocese. I found this great article written by Bishop Clark — “Priest, nun offer faithful witness” in his column Along the Way in the Catholic Courier (10.23.08).

Of the priest and the sister, Bishop Clark writes,

“They teach us how to live. They remind us of what is important and what is not. They challenge us in their own gracious ways — to think about what drives us, about our deepest values and our final destiny.”
