The Pro Sanctity Movement congratulates Fr. Frank Jindra, Apostolic Sodales and pastor of St. Lawrence Parish in Silver Creek, Ss. Peter and Paul Parish in Krakow, and St. Rose of Lima Parish, Genoa, Ne on the occasion of his silver jubilee as a priest of Jesus Christ! Thank you Father for the daily sacrifice you offer to God on behalf of the world! We thank God for the gift of your vocation and ask for His continual blessing on your priestly ministry.To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasures; to be a member of each family, yet belonging to one; to share all sufferings; to penetrate all secrets; to heal all wounds; to go from men to God and offer him their prayers; to return from God to men to bring pardon and hope; to have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity; to teach and to pardon, console and bless always, my God, what a life! And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ!

As a Catholic convert, I have a very deep appreciation and fond love for Catholic priests. Apostolic succession is almost overwhelming in it's comfort when one comes from a background where it did not exist. I know many well intentioned pastors in other faith communities, but the Catholic priesthood is truly a gift, and blessing and comfort to the soul of all "lambs" who need guidance and forgiveness (confession) and sustenance (Eucharist) from the "hand of Christ" there in all of his priest-sons. God bless Fr. Jindra and all priests who sacrifice so much! We need you and we support you in our prayers.
