Fr. Christian Hoper, SCJ, was the main celebrant of the monthly Vocation Mass at the Provincialate chapel last Friday. During his homily he talked about his own vocation, saying that as a teen “I wanted to be an Idol!” What he meant was that he wanted his chance at fame and fortune as a contestant singing on the Indonesian version of the “Idol” television competition. Fr. Christian (pictured above) is originally from Indonesia.
“But then I met a priest who offered such a sense of peace among the people he was with, the people he served,” said Fr. Christian. “And I realized, that’s what I really want to do. That is my vocation. I want to bring peace to others…
“It is by expressing who you are, by talking about and living your own vocation – whatever it is – that you encourage and inspire others to find theirs.”
