Some of the biggest promoters of vocations are the Knights of Columbus. Since I entered the friars they have been so good to me and my Francsican brothers. On the back of their magazine, they feature a religious, seminarian or priest each month. For the month of August, they wanted to feature my community and my provincial asked for me to do it...

Good story--I didn't know the Knights did these on their magazine, but that's great. Your mom must be so proud!

I hope so! After I sent her some copies she called me immediately in tears.

Friar Matt, Very good story. I really enjoyed reading it. I am glad to see how you accept the help from the Knights. We are always here to assist you as well as others in the vocations. One of the best moments I ever had was when I first said Vivat Jesus to my priest. He smiled at me and that just made my day.
