Innocence to Inspiration: Fr. Shane Gallagher’s Path to Priesthood || Vocare

It all began one night, past his bedtime, a nine-year-old Shane stumbled upon a documentary about Pope John Paul II. He experienced an extraordinary closeness to the Pope and felt a profound desire to become a priest. At age 10, Shane decided to express his aspirations and penned a heartfelt letter to the Pope narrating everything about his life, school, family, and the life-altering documentary that had sparked his calling. Months later, to his astonishment, Fr. Shane Gallagher received a letter from Pope John Paul II. The series of events that unfolded later transformed his life, leading him down a path toward the priesthood.

So honest! It's only now I am hearing that priests too get into depression. Now I realized we have to pray more for our priests. God bless you, Father!

[@rosiehannigan6767]

I thank the Lord our God for beautiful Father Shane Gallagher for all he did for us during a difficult time in our lives & he continues to lead us in the truth & beauty of our Catholic faith. Blessed be God for this wonderful holy Priest among us.❤

I really enjoyed your story about your journey to Priesthood. Thank you Fr Shane for sharing.

[@emmanuelongodia5734]

This message is beautiful indeed. In summary Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, reading of Scripture, prayer, and the Holy Rosary kept enjoying his Priesthood. I would like to add Holy Mass. 👆🏿

Why does it show a priest giving someone the Eucharist in their fingers 😳
