Men of God, Rise Up!

On Friday, March 19th, many of the CTK men involved with the Society of St. Joseph consecrated themselves to St. Joseph at the end of a 33-day consecration preparation book by Fr. Donald Calloway. The morning started with 6:00am Adoration, quarterbacked by Fr. Padilla, followed by a consecration recitation led by George Fisher (leader of SSJ), and concluding with Mass.

“This was a powerful testament to the men’s faith here at CTK and the culture fostered by Fr. Len, the community, and George’s leadership. Fr. Padilla is also incredible with his involvement with the society and we are grateful that he’s been hearing our confessions weekly!

CTK should be very proud.”
