The first address or homily of a newly ordained priest is a moving moment – not only for the priest but also for the life of the Church.

In his address at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament this past Saturday, Fr. Derik Peterman reflects on the path ahead of him – that despite the challenges of the Church today, his role as a priest is to be a vessel of Christ.

"We offer to God the little we have, so that he might multiply it and by remaining in him, it might bear much fruit. In his providence, the Almighty Father has called us priests to serve him at a very unique moment in Church history."
