"Priests Need Families and Families Need Priests" with Fr. Jon Meyer and Brian Wynne

 “Priests need families and families need priests.”

Marriage and Holy Orders are Vocational Sacraments--both are are lifestyles rooted in Christ and expressed in different ways. 

They share a call to holiness, love and total self gift.

Rachel felt God's call to care for inner-city children. 

Rachel founded The Brian Muha and Run the Race Foundations in Columbus, Ohio in honor of her son, Brian. Rachel spends her days with inner-city children of Columbus, Ohio providing basic needs and sharing the presence, joy and mercy of Christ.
