James Patrick Keleher

"Be a true shepherd to your people — caring, loving and available. Although you will not always succeed, a loving shepherd will make an impact for years to come. Don’t neglect your own spiritual life. The temptation, when priests get busy, is to give up times of prayer and spiritual development in order to do more pastoral work."

"You've got that personality that people are drawn to and like to be around, and it's because of the joy you bring. If we believe what is in the Gospel, how can we not be filled with joy? You exemplify it."
