Mary Knap on One Religious Vocation

"With so many parishes, prayer groups, and individuals praying for vocations these days, it's encouraging to hear how one young man has responded to the call to become a priest.

"Craig Ziobert, 31, has been an active presence in his home parish of the Basilica of Mount Carmel in Youngstown, Ohio, since he was a child. . . .

"Two weekends ago, Craig received a big round of applause from parishioners when he shared his plans after Mass. He will enter Saint Mary’s Seminary in Wickliffe, Ohio, at the end of August."

 In a recent commentary, writer Patty Knap reflected on her recent interview with this meteorologist on his vocation.
