"What sounds like a brainteaser beautifully reflects the incredible road of Father Thomas Colucci.
"Father Colucci, 60, achieved the rank of captain in the New York City Fire Department after spending 20 years with the force.
"After a life-altering accident and seemingly miraculous cure, the man who retired from a life of rescuing people from physical death has now dedicated his remaining years to saving people from eternal death as a priest of the Archdiocese of New York.
"On May 28, retired FDNY Capt. Colucci was one of 15 men ordained to the Catholic priesthood at St. Patrick’s Cathedral."
A recent National Catholic Register article profiled Fr. Colucci and his journaey to the priesthood.
