What is the meaning of life? Why did God put us here? How can I find greater joy and happiness? These are questions that we all think about and ask, but we are finding more and more difficult to answer. We are pleased to present two Advent Mission nights with Vincentian Priest Fr. Ron Hoye, C.M., where he highlights the 4 fundamental pillars of a flourishing life, as given to us by the Word of God, in Jesus. Fr. Hoye’s missions blend humor, story, sacrament, and spiritual reflection in a presentation that appeals to all ages.
Fr. Hoye grew up in a farming community in Ste. Genevieve, MO and was greatly influenced by his mom and dad whose lives were about helping and caring for others as a nurse and surgeon. Fr. Ron chose a similar path of service and was ordained a priest in the Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent De Paul in 1991 at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church in Perryville, MO.
Fr. Hoye holds a B.S. in Philosophy and two Masters Degrees—in Theology and Ethics. He has been heavily involved in youth activities and programs both domestically and internationally. He served on the National Board of the Religious Vocation Conference while involved in campus ministry at DePaul University in Chicago, where he also taught Business Ethics and World Religions.
Currently, Fr. Hoye is director of Catholic TeamWorks- a collaborative effort of Catholic Evangelization and Spirituality in the digital landscape. He is founder and editor of The God Minute, a Catholic prayer podcast. He is a published author and travels extensively throughout the country leading parish missions and leadership renewal. Join us for two nights to reflect on the season of Advent as we prepare for Christmas.
