Featured Saint of the Day: Sts. Simon and Jude
Congratulations to Today's Winner of "Catholics in the Public Square" by the Most Reverend Thomas J. Olmsted: Dan Rovy

Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Fr. Gan Nguyen, a Redemptorist Missionary who is speaking this week at the St. Pius X Parish Mission. The Mission will be every night through Thursday. Each evening Fr. Gan and Fr. Tony Judge focus on different aspects of the faith.

Fr. Gan shared with us the top ten reasons to become a priest:
1. You don't have to scream when you talk-you always get the microphone.
2. If you're late to Mass you always get the best seat in the house.
3. You'll always stand out in a crowd because you look good in black.
4. You don't have to worry about your wardrobe because one-size-fits-all.
5. You have your own house with no curfew.
6. You have your own bed and no one will complain if you snore.
7. You won't have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby or change a diaper.
8. You don't have to worry about a mother-in-law.
9. You won't get laid off or fired, this job is for life.
10. The benefits are out of this world.

He told us that in all of life's struggles he encourages people to have faith and trust in God that he will take care of them. He also tells people to take it one day at a time. For those he speaks with you maybe do not understand the importance of scripture he tells them that the word Bible stands for: Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.
