When the Priest Doesn’t Look Like Us

Meet Father George Komo, a Kenyan priest who’s been serving in our diocese for a handful of years. In a few months, Father George will leave behind the life as a parish priest and enlist in the Armed Services, on loan to the Archdiocese for the Military Services as a chaplain. We can’t help but wonder if somehow we ran him off. Not we as in just us Schmidts, but we as in first-world Catholics who may very well be just a little too used to getting exactly what we want.
