Congratulations to Daren Zehnle and the 6 other seminarians (read their biographies) from the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois that were ordained as priests on Saturday.
Daren and I have known each other since high school with our involvement with TEC (Teens Encounter Christ). I got to know Daren really well when he and I were both candidates on a Koinonia in college. Erin got to know Daren in college while she lived at North Campus. In fact, Erin and I first got to know each other by going to Night Prayer which Daren lead. Daren was the alter server for our wedding and most recently as a Deacon, baptized Ella.
Daren is going to be a wonderful priest and hopefully through his example will bring many to Christ & the priesthood.
