Chiquitunga Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Here's a great priest I've met from the Archdioese of Chicago, Fr. Matt Foley, who discerned a call to become a military chaplain, [url="http://romancatholicvocations.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html"]Priest heeds call to Iraq[/url] Just a side note, I knew this before, but he went to college with Chris Farely. Maybe some of you have heard of his "motivational speaker" character, Matt Foley .. [quote]Up through college, Foley was a troublemaker, a partyer. As a political science major at Marquette University, he played rugby with fellow student and soon-to-be-famous comedian Chris Farley, known for his life of excess. Farley, who died in 1997, named one of his most revered ‘‘Saturday Night Live’’ characters, a bumbling motivational speaker, after Foley.[/quote] But anyway, back to becoming a military chaplain, I find this story really inspiring. My brother in the seminary is also discerning this call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a terrible show these days with very very low morals the vast majority of the time, it wasn't always like that in the past .. Chris Farely was pretty funny though. I'm sure Fr. Foley always kept him in his prayers. May he rest in peace another [url="http://www.nbc5.com/news/15426556/detail.html"][b]article[/b][/url] and [url="http://video.nbc5.com/player/?id=223473"][b]video[/b][/url] on Fr. Foley. God bless him! Edited July 11, 2008 by Margaret Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
