Father
Paul J. Henry was ordained in a class of 31 from All Hallows Seminary in
Dublin, Ireland 36 years ago, along with his twin brother, Peter, and Fr.
Richard Walsh. He has spent his years of parish ministry serving in
Daytona Beach, Brevard County and in Orlando at St. Mary Magdelen. His
career peaked with his assignment to St. John Vianney parish. Fr. Paul
also served as the principal of Melbourne Central Catholic High school for three
years. Regarding his training, Fr. Paul says he is educated enough to know
better and holds graduate degrees from Stetson University and the University of
Massachusetts.
Fr. Paul is proud to be from a large Irish family and is blessed to have his mother with him still, as she prepares to celebrate her 90th birthday this November. His greatest ambition is to be a Catholic priest and with a very few stresses along the way, it has been a very wonderful life... so far. Top of page
Father
Tomás Hurtado - Father, ¿did you become a priest in Cuba? This is one of the
most common questions people asked me, because in spite of the Island atheist
system God has always been present in the hearts of he people; He cannot be
erased from the mind and the heart of human beings.
I was born in a small town, in the old province of Las Villas, Cuba, to a Christian family, very much committed to the Church – thanks be to God. Since my early childhood I was involved in community affairs, but never thought of becoming a priest.
I graduated from high school, and at the age of 19, seeing the spiritual need of the people and the scarce number of ministers, I began to consider the possibility of becoming a priest. Went through mandatory military service, and after having attended the university for a year I cut my studies short to enter the “San Carlos and San Ambrosio” Seminary in Havana.
I finished my studies at the “Universidad Pontificia de México” and returned to Cuba hoping to work for my people. I was ordained a deacon and then a priest at the Diocese of Santa Clara, in Cuba. Three years later I decided to come to the United States because of the difficult political situation in Cuba.
I worked in the Archdiocese of Miami for a time, but being aware of the need for Hispanic priests in the Diocese of Orlando I asked Monsignor Wenski to be incorporated to it. My first assignment was at St. Catherine of Sienna Parish, in Kissimmee. Since September, 2006 I am serving the family of St. John Vianney and, by the grace of God. I do hope to be able to serve the people of God in Orlando joyfully and readily for the glory and honor of our God. May He bless you always!
¿Padre usted se hizo sacerdote en Cuba? Es una de las preguntas más comunes que me hacen y es que a pesar del sistema ateo de la isla, la fe en el pueblo siempre estuvo presente pues a Dios no se le puede borrar de la mente y el corazón del ser humano.
Nací en un pueblo de la antigua provincia de Las Villas, gracias a Dios de familia cristiana y muy comprometida en la Iglesia. Desde chico participé en la comunidad, pero nunca a edad temprana pensé ser sacerdote.
Cursé mis estudios primarios, secundarios y el bachillerato y cuando tenía unos 19 años comencé a pensar en la posibilidad de ser sacerdote, viendo las necesidades espirituales que teníamos y escuchando sobre la escacés de ministros. Pasé el servicio militar obligatorio y después de hacer un año de una carrera universitaria abandoné los estudios para comenzar el seminario “San Carlos y San Ambrosio” en La Habana.
Terminé mis estudios en la “Universidad Pontificia de México” y regresé a Cuba con la ilusión de trabajar para mi pueblo. En la diócesis de Santa Clara, Cuba, fui ordenado diácono y sacerdote. Después de tres años de mi regreso al país y por la difícil situación del mismo, decidí venir hacia los E.U.A.
Trabajé un tiempo en la diócesis de Miami y conociendo la necesidad de sacerdotes hispanos en la diócesis de Orlando, decidí pedirle a Mons. Wenski la incorporación a la misma. Mi primer nombramiento en la diócesis fue en la parroquia Santa Catalina de Siena, Kissimmee. Desde septiembre del año 2006 estoy sirviendo a la familia de San Juan María Vianney. Espero con la gracia de Dios y la ayuda de la Virgen poder servir con alegría y disponibilidad al pueblo de Dios en Orlando, para darle mayor gloria y honor a nuestro Dios. Él los bendiga siempre.

diversified background enhances her ability to minister in our midst. Prior to

Kissimmee for four and a half years. She was also a teacher for over nineteen
years, principal of catholic schools for nine and a member of a religious

for leading her to a ministry where she draws closer to Him and His Church more
and more each day. With Mary our Mother, she says: “My soul proclaims the
greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For He who is
mighty has done great things for me and holy is His name.”
