FR. JOSH MCCARTY

Priest && Nerd

My Dad is an analytical chemist. Being a lot like him, I am quiet, introverted, caught up in thinking, and nervous. My parishioners think that I am quite comfortable in front of people, but that is not true. I was ordained to the priesthood in 2009 and am currently in my 6th assignment as a priest. I love being a priest even though being a priest is not what I wanted to be while I was in High School. My life hope is to use up my gifts as a priest and as a nerd for the good of people and the building up of the Church.
