Justin Hibbard continues the mini-series on the Sacrament of Holy Orders with a special interview with Father John Paul Kern. Like Justin, Father John Paul grew up in a Protestant home and graduated from Annapolis Area Christian School. In this episode, he shares his story on becoming Catholic, and why he decided to become a Dominican Priest. He also shares the everyday responsibilities and some of the common challenges of the priesthood.
