"People remember the simple human touch."

Description

(Photo by Ryan Haggerty) Fr. Vinny McKiernan's worked at the Newman Center on the Ohio State University campus for 26 years. Over the course of his life and work, he’s been a novice director with the Paulist Fathers. He’s also become known for spiritual direction, and giving retreats to nuns. But he says the emphasis of his life has been what he describes as the “core” of being a priest: celebrating the sacraments in daily Mass, Sunday mass, weddings, baptisms and funerals. He says his understanding of the work of a priest was shaped by the name of the parish in which he grew up in New York City — Good Shepherd.
