Here, at Saint Thomas More, we love our priests. And when one of those priests is carrying a backpack and going to classes and pulling all-nighters to finish a paper, we love them even more!
Fr. Pat Reidy, a priest from the Congregation of Holy Cross, has spent a lot of time around Yale and Saint Thomas More the last five years. Before he moved away from New Haven to return to the University of Notre Dame this past summer, we spent time with him reflecting on his life as a priest and law student/now lawyer. Fr. Pat’s “call within a call” to study law as a professed religious has not been without its challenges, some of which he describes in this conversation.
