While growing up, Father Richard Pentello knew and admired many priests, but the influence he cites most strongly is that of his family.

Father Kish, who served as pastor of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish in Cortland since 1988, retired as a diocesan priest in July. The parish celebrated with a Mass on June 17 with Bishop David Bonnar.

After two unsuccessful attempts to complete seminary studies to be a priest, Father Joseph Zamary found unexpected encouragement from a future canonized saint—Padre Pio.

A long and winding road led Father Joseph Rudjak to the priesthood for the Diocese of Youngstown, a door which he walked through 23 years ago after serving as a deacon for 30 years.
