‘God Didn’t Forget My Bucket List,’ Says Jesuit Chaplain of the House of Representatives
The 113th Congress recently convened and that means long, busy days ahead for Jesuit Father Patrick Conroy, who serves as the 62nd Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The first Jesuit to serve as the chaplain to the House, Fr. Conroy says when he was young his plan was to be a U.S. senator. When Fr. Conroy’s provincial asked him to apply for the chaplain position, Fr. Conroy says, “God didn’t forget my bucket list.”
In this Ignatian News Network video, Fr. Conroy talks about his unique ministry.
