Father Frank
Crowley, C.M. has had the privilege of giving Parish Missions since
1974. He has given well over 150 missions in over 24 states, including
Hawaii, as well as in Australia for a year. He has spoken to over
500,000 people. Father Crowley calls it a privilege because of the
strong faith he has seen in the people with whom he has come into
contact. He likewise says despite the problems in the Church and the
world, the faith of Christians is strong. People are still trying to
serve God as well as they can. Father
Crowley belongs to the Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent
DePaul. He was born in Chicago, IL. After
thirteen years of seminary education at Quigley, in Chicago, St.
Vincent’s and St. Mary’s in Missouri, he was ordained a priest in
1957. The first seventeen years of this priesthood were spent in
seminary, parish and retreat work. For the past twenty-five years he has
been involved in Vincentian Parish Missions. Father Crowley loves his work and looks forward to spending the days of the parish mission with the people of God. He puts it best when he says, “I am looking forward to this week of special prayer in both our lives…a week of sharing our thoughts , our problems, our wants and our desires. With God’s help, we will be closer to Him and each other at the week’s end. God bless you all.”
