A Culture of Ideas

As a Catholic for more than 40 years, I have never seen a priest more prolific in disseminating profound ideas as Father Sarkies. From his weekly column in the Catholic Progress to his essays and elocutions in the weekly bulletin, he consistently addressed the big questions of our faith in a profound way. I personally know of four people whom Father brought to Christ. Undoubtedly, there were many more.

Father often said that Jesus calls us not just to live the Gospel, but the spread The Good News. In my life as a Catholic, I have never met another who met this calling as effectively as Father Sarkies.
