A Song to Sing: A Story of Priesthood Renewal in the USA

As a child, Father Paddy O’Donovan wanted to be either a performer, a politician… or a priest.

His humour, charm, and conversational agility make it clear he could have been all 3. But behind the warmth is a spiritual depth and a profound love for people. Quoting Father Hans Urs Von Balthasar, he states he ultimately chose theodrama, than that of the ego. And a reflection on his years in ministry demonstrate how God is using him to tell His story.

This month he celebrates 50 years of ordination.
