HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED BEING A PRIEST?

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED YOUR SON or GRANDSON BEING A PRIEST?

WILL YOU CONSIDER IT?

Fr. Sean Hyland

In Fr Sean’s own words “If I had to up sum what

‘Whisperings of my Soul’

is all about, I think the first sentence probably says it best;

“When I reached the lowest ebb of my life, I called out to God and discovered that He was there for me””.
