But aren’t these things I’m doing something everyone should be doing?” “But, privately, I thought, maybe. I could be happy doing that,” he said. As a junior in high school, he read St. Augustine’s Confessions, which had a strong influence on his faith. “I was a hardcore Catholic guy at 18 years old, but I was still very raw,” Father Giacona said.

Through the Catholic Culture Club, he was introduced to Communion and Liberation, a Catholic lay organization that he credits with a second conversion. “Communion and Liberation made me grow up in my faith,” he said. Through companionship with other believers, he saw a more human side to the faith and the continued presence of God in his life. “That really changed me. I thought, maybe I really do want to be a priest,” he said. However, he still had trepidations and was unsure about entering the seminary. After graduating, he worked as a teacher at St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School on Staten Island. That’s when he really began discerning his vocation. “I was doing this job. I liked working for the Church. I liked working with the kids. I assisted with the youth group for Communion and Liberation. I knew I didn’t want to be a teacher,” he said. After three years of teaching, he applied and entered the seminary. Father Giacona never doubted his faith, but that didn’t mean he didn’t face challenges and hard choices to get to where he is today. “I would have loved to have a wife and children, so it was very scary to give up those things, to give up my own freedom,” he said. “But once I grew closer to God, the more I understood love is bigger and deeper than our own ideas of it,” he said. “Once I understood the way Jesus loved—a chaste love, a celibate love, a love for everyone—I knew that’s the way I want to love. “That gave me the courage to say OK,” he said. © Catholic New York.

A FATHER’S DAY PRAYER

God our Father, We give you thanks and praise

for fathers young and old; May they find courage and

perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.

We pray for our own fathers

who have supported and challenged us;

May they continue to lead us in strong and gentle ways.

We remember fathers around the world whose

children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks

with them in their sorrow.

We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with

fatherly love and advice.

We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who are no longer with us but

who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love.

Amen.
