Kevin Wells joins this week’s episode of the Respect Life Radio podcast to reflect on the witness of holy priests and the quiet heroism found in faithful ministry. Drawing from his recent article in Catholic World Report, “The Memory of a Vianney-Like Priest Lay Hidden in the West Virginia Mountains,” Wells recounts the powerful story of a humble priest whose life of sacrifice, prayer and pastoral devotion echoed the spirit of St. John Vianney. Through this story, Wells invites listeners to rediscover the beauty of priestly fatherhood and the transformative impact of a life poured out for the salvation of souls. Wells is an award-winning Catholic author, speaker, and former sports reporter for the Tampa Tribune. He is the best-selling author of several books, including The Priests We Need to Save the Church, Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz and The Hermit. Through his writing and speaking, Wells calls Catholics to deeper faith, courageous witness and renewed appreciation for the priesthood.
