Monk or No Monk, I’ll Stay with Don Bosco

Thursday Jul 06, 2023

Welcome back to Valdocco! Fr. Steve and Vicky sit with Fr. Tim Zak, SDB. Fr. Tim has just finished serving our province as the Provincial for the last six years (let's stop and give thanks for a moment). Together we sit and listen to his vocation story, learn a bit about him, and finally, a little glimpse into his life as a Provincial. If you have ever met Fr. Tim, you know he's kind, a great listener, and a humble man. It was a real treat to finally have him on the podcast and allow him to share about his life. Join us in praying for Fr. Tim as he awaits what's next for him and for Fr. Dominic Tran, SDB, who will follow him in serving our province as Provincial.
