Stop the Ave Maria Gift Shop and purchase a copy of Fr. Timothy Gahan’s book. Fr. Gahan serves Mass from time to time at Saint Mary Catherdal.
A career in the U.S. Marine Corps and ordination to the Catholic priesthood are commitments to service, but it is rare one would not only have both these callings and
be a widower and father as well. Timothy M. Gahan is such a man. Raised in a large Irish Catholic military family, he served in the Vietnam War as a helicopter machine gunner and was later commissioned in the
Corps. Leatherneck to Roman Collar describes the unusual life and times of a 27-year USMC veteran and family man who became a parish priest as told by one of his sisters. It is a compelling story of meeting
challenges, devotion, overcoming obstacles, sacrifice,happiness and love of country, family and God.
