Go for some rock climbing. Stay for some theology.

Fr. Dennis Gallagher spoke Monday to a group of young adults at Central Rock Gym in Worcester for a diocesan dinner and discussion night. His topic:  quiet heroism.

Priests and religious can be quiet heroes, he told the crowd. So can parents. And so can people struggling with illnesses, either mental or physical.

We need to remember this, he said, because it stands in stark contrast to our cultural veneration of empty success.

He added that it is something to consider when thinking about your ultimate vocation.
