Congratulations, Father Dan. I am so grateful you have remained faithful to your call and became a priest. I’m sure you will serve Him with all your heart. I have seen you at our Motherhouse, and you seem to radiate joy. At Mass I pray for many intentions. Now I realize I should also be praying for the priest who is celebrating the Liturgy. May God continue to bless you and all priests.

Sisters,
Thank you for all your support for vocations. I know I felt it as I was preparing for ordination. It is wonderful to feel the accompaniment of your prayers and also to see the good work you do in our diocese. May God bless your order and may you prosper far beyond what is humanly possible.
-Fr.Joel

I just wanted to say how proud I am of Fr. Dan and what a joy it was to be able to attend his Ordination in Green Bay and his First Mass in Oshkosh last weekend. What a blessing for our family and for the Church as he has so much to give. Coincidently, Sister Barbara Mathe was the last vocation from our parish of St. Mary’s in Oshkosh (now Most Blessed Sacrament) and now Fr. Dan takes that honor. To think that the newest vocation is still within our family.

All of the vocations are so divinely interwoven that to focus on one is to focus on all. To gain more perspective on the priestly life from two brother priests (Fr. Joel and Fr. Benjamin from the Green Bay Diocese) who speak with Gospel assurance of their call to be God’s servants at this time in history click below: http://holypriesthood.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-06%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-06%3A00&max-results=50

The Franciscan Friars of the Assumption Province offer a great “Spiritual Toolbox”, an online experience modeled on St. Francis’ life-changing experience at San Damiano that is great for reflection on one’s call to service in the church.

I am thrilled that Fr. Dan Schuster was able to preside at liturgies at the Motherhouse. I first met (Fr.) Dan as a college student when he was working in our LifeTeen program here at St. Raphael, Oshkosh. He was dynamic and full of energy for the Gospel. Sounds like that has not changed.
Consider this an open invitation to visit St. Raphael Parish for a LifeTeen Mass in Fall and see what great energy is generated by the Holy Spirit.
Special congratulations to Fr. Dan and to all who prayerfully supported his journey to ordination.
