About this sermon

This is a story about how a man's tragic and heartbreaking loss, led him on a path to the priesthood. Fr. Peter Adamski was a top-level executive working with the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson and was married to his college sweetheart Kathy. Together they had a son called John and life was going great. But it was after Kathy was diagnosed with cancer and early on-set Alzheimer's disease, that their life changed forever. Here is Fr. Peter's inspiring story of giving up all his wealth and riches, to join the priesthood at age 66. ------------ A shorter version of this feature was aired on EWTN News In Depth. ------------- Subscribe to EWTN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/EWTN ------------- You can support the EWTN News mission: https://bit.ly/3qDR1qf
