With joy and gratitude to God, the Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province announces the ordination to the priesthood of five men, including Christopher Kellerman, who grew up as a parishioner of MBS. Christopher Kellerman, SJ, was born in Arlington, Texas, where he graduated from Lamar High School in 2004. He became a political junkie at a young age. He attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, where he studied music and political science and was an active member of the Catholic Student Association. He went on to earn his master’s degree in theology from the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, where he began seriously discerning a religious vocation. He entered the Jesuit Novitiate of St. Stanislaus Kostka in Grand Coteau, La., in 2011. After two years, he went to St. Louis, where he studied philosophy at Saint Louis University and served for a year at St. Louis University High School. Kellerman’s ministerial experience was at Regis Jesuit High School in Denver. He then earned his Master of Divinity degree at Regis College at the University of Toronto. For the past year, he has been a visiting research fellow at the Jesuit Social Research Institute (JSRI) at Loyola University New Orleans, as well as serving as a deacon at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Baton Rouge, La. Following ordination, Kellerman will serve as a priest at Immaculate Conception Parish in Baton Rouge, while serving as interim director of JSRI in New Orleans.

Walking with Moms in Need is a time of service in which Catholic parishes and communities "walk in the shoes" of local pregnant and parenting women in need. Everyone should know how to help moms in difficult circumstances. While not trying to turn Catholic parishes into pregnancy centers, we can support local pregnancy centers where they exist, and we can also find and share other resources with pregnant and parenting women. And where there are few local resources, we can create our own, based on the gifts of the parish community!

This fifth issue of Proclamation focuses on Prayer. Everyone has good days and not so good days of prayer. It is a part of the human condition. What you will see in this issue of Proclamation is that Prayer is a “spiritual battle.” We hope to arm you with information and tools for this spiritual battle, from examples of how to pray, to thoughts from fellow parishioners on what prayer means to them, and how some of our ministries have grown in their prayer lives, especially the women and men who have attended a Welcome Weekend. We hope you enjoy this issue!
