OUR EIGHT VOCATIONS TO THE PRIESTHOOD
Our little parish of Saint Theresa of Avila in Rhodelia, Kentucky, has produced 37 Sisters, 8 Priests, 1 Brother and hundreds of lay heroes in its 203 year history. In these periodic little "history briefs," today I will spotlight the eight priests Saint Theresa Church has produced for service in the broader church. .
