Congratulations to Fr. Kyle Nesrsta! He and four other seminarians were ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Vasquez Saturday in Austin. Fr. Kyle is the "first fruit" of our parish's vocation to religious life, and hopefully only the beginning of more to come. We are so proud of Fr. Kyle and very blessed to have been a part of his journey. May he be always blessed and as he begins his life of service to God's people may he always minister with the joy and faithfulness he has today.
