A military chaplain's story

This week's issue of The Tidings, the Archdiocesan newspaper, has a first-person account (click on this post's title) by Fr. Jose Antonio Bautista of his service with the U.S. Marines in Iraq.

Fr. Bautista, 42, is from Guadalajara and was ordained here in 1999 from St. John's Seminary.

This is a moving and powerful article about our Marines, our Catholic chaplains, and the priesthood. You won't want to miss it.
