My OperaThe Ones Who Paved the Way...

Last night at Holy Cross parish in Omaha we had to prepare dinner for the Archdiocese of Omaha’s retired priests. I, practically an illiterate when it comes down to the culinary arts, had to prepare the potatoes for the casserole, chop garlic, cuts peppers and many other things. Thank goodness I was not alone on this: 8 more seminarians were helping as well.
The whole kitchen looked as a war zone. One of the guys had to make the hour d’oeuvres and they just looked like a squirrel rolled over by a mower.
-rectory kitchen: a disaster zone!
Yet the effort was worth it: we wanted to honor these priests who have said YES to God decades ago. They arrived at 6:30. We served them all these great food and drinks. We also shared advices, memories and opinions.
-John Leonetti, Paco and Fr. John
I was appalled by their love for their priesthood and the Church. It was an inspiration to see these men of God, faithful to their promises, who have given their time, youth, energy and everything else to God.
-priests, seminarians and laity
