Father Michael McGarry, CSP, President of the Paulist FathersTo me, each New Year is an opportunity – an opportunity for a fresh start that can lead to better health, professional advancement and spiritual growth.
Whether at one of our parishes, information centers, campus ministry sites or even on this Website, the Paulists resolve to walk with you along your spiritual journey. Chances are, your life, or the life of someone you know, has already been touched by a Paulist or one of our ministries.
Take the opportunity this New Year to discover the Paulists and our many good works. I pray that you will be improved by what you find!
A New Year is a time ripe to gather the new energy our gracious God, in the Spirit, always offers us. It is my hope Christ’s Spirit will guide you to share your faith with others, to mend broken relationships in your life, and to come to a greater understanding of those whose faith and customs are not like ours.
These are the pillars of our Paulist mission, a mission within our church, always guided by the Holy Spirit, inspired by the example of St. Paul and by the legacy of our founder, Servant of God Father Isaac Hecker.
May God’s blessings be yours in this New Year!
