A hunger for hope

Read Father Jake’s moving story, "The Boys of Hall."  Incarcerated in reform school at age 15, he found himself asked by his "roommates" to conduct a brief memorial service after one of their number died from inhaling an aerosol.

Excerpt:

When did I first know that I was called to be a priest?  When I looked
into the eyes of those twelve boys gathered in the Hall kitchen and saw
their hunger for hope.
