Welcome, Fr. Mark Wagner and Fr. Matthew O'Donnell!
About Fr. Mark (excerpted from his 2018 “How I became a priest” article for St. Joseph’s Church):
“I attended 6:30 am Mass every day at Presentation Parish before my classes at Lincoln High School. I also tried to do a daily holy hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, following the famous recommendation of Bishop Fulton Sheen. As the only young man in the Legion of Mary group, I was “blessed among women” at meetings. As a high school foreign exchange student in France, I discovered that most French people are non-practicing Catholics, who were amazed that I wanted to attend daily Mass. By bicycle, I went to countless wonderful churches! Attending Delta College for two years, I played on the soccer team and gradually began to lose interest in becoming a priest. Next, I studied journalism at Chico State University, becoming a disc jockey for a campus radio station. I also attended parties and chased girls (but God prevented me from catching any!) Throughout, I was not able to drown out the voice of God calling me to the priesthood. I felt unfulfilled and resumed my practice of daily Mass and holy hour, and decided to enter the seminary. When I told my roommates about my decision, they said it was “cool,” and I found out that some of them were Catholic. After two years of college seminary, I was sent for five years of theology study in Rome. This was a blessing, as I was able to visit the shrines of Europe and the Holy Land. I received a theology degree from the “Gregorian University” and a license degree (S.T.L.) in moral theology from the “John Paul II Institute for Studies of Marriage and Family.” Upon finishing my studies, I returned home and was ordained a priest by Bishop Donald Montrose on September 24, 1988.”
Fr. Mark is pleased to return to his “home parish” and looks forward to serving the parishioners of Presentation Parish.
