Fr. Paul McNellis, S.J.

A reader let me know about Fr. Paul McNellis, S.J. who was a Green Beret in Vietnam, an AP freelancer there, refugee worker on the Cambodian frontier during the Killing Fields, Jesuit priest, and philosophy professor at Boston College. He is also totally faithful to the Church and yesterday he was award the Mary Kaye Waldron Award at BC which is the highest honor students can bestow on a teacher.

Here is a video tribute his students have made to honor him.

Father McNellis is a great priest, one of the finest Jesuits I know. Please pray that God raise up more men like him.

I wish I had known about Fr. McNellis when I was there. Faithful Jesuits aren't easy to find. Thank God for Fr. Tacelli, too.

Oh, man. I typed that before even seeing Fr. Tacelli in the video.

He's a bad ass confessor to go to. Be prepared for some brutal honesty!
