This week we heard from Fr. Matt Spahr, the pastor at the Immaculata parish here in San Diego speak on the subject of discernment (I’ve written quite a bit on the subject of my on discernment here:\u00a0“Discerning\u00a0Thoughts”<\/a>,\u00a0“Discernment Frustrations”<\/a>,\u00a0“That Special Something”<\/a>,\u00a0“Three Images of Discernment”<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is Fr. Sphar’s short biography:<\/p>\n

Father Matthew Spahr, a priest of the Diocese of San Diego, was born and raised in San Diego. He\u00a0attended local Catholic schools including the University of San Diego and North American College in\u00a0Rome. He was ordained in 1992 and is currently director of the Office for Priestly Formation for the\u00a0Diocese, and the pastor of The Immaculata Parish on the campus of USD.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I was really pleased that we finally managed to get Fr. Matt to speak at Theology on Tap. I will unabashedly say that he is my favourite homilist here in San Diego. Every time Carrie, the Young Adult Coordinator for our Diocese, asked me who we should have to speak at the next Theology on Tap, I would always ask her to try again to secure Fr. Matt.\u00a0Here is the audio:<\/p>\n
