Description

Step into the world of our Chaplain, Fr. Ryan Lerner, as he candidly shares stories and insights from his life that have led him to where he is today: back on a college campus ministering to students. 

Taking us back to his childhood before he and his family were Catholic, Fr. Ryan shares the story of his family's conversion to the faith, the role of Catholic education in his deepening spiritual life, his mother's devotion as she battled cancer, and the peace of God that he experienced as an athlete. From his college days when the thought of the priesthood only occasionally crossed his mind to today when he is busy pastoring the Catholic Church in New Haven, Fr. Ryan faithfully notices the presence of God all around him. 

This summer, host Grace Klise and co-host Zach Moynihan ‘25 had the privilege of sitting down with him in the studio to uncover his remarkable trajectory and talk about the joys and challenges of ministry at Saint Thomas More (including some of his favorite homily one-liners!). 

Join us to learn more about the man leading the Saint Thomas More community with a tireless and humble heart who teaches us all how to bear witness to Christ in our lives.
