"Father Jim Sichko, a pastor at St. Mark Catholic Church in Richmond,
Ky., travels and preaches at parish missions in many different states.
But this year he is one of Pope Francis' designated 'missionaries of
mercy' - and that information has already made a big impact on his
mission circuit.
"Father Sichko told the Register at his last parish mission, where he
gave a weekend retreat preaching and hearing confessions, the church was
filled to its maximum capacity of 300 persons 'every night.'
"'There was an elderly gentlemen that was brought back into full
communion with the Church; and a second was an infant whose parents did
not want their child baptized, but they decided from the mission to seek
baptism for the child,' he said.
"In this jubilee year, the priest said he believes the missionaries of
mercy will 'see some powerful conversions and some amazing people
coming back to the Church.'"
A recent National Catholic Register article profile Father Sichko and his missionary of mercy ministry.
