Changing Tracks: Fr. Fred Parke
- Published in Changing Tracks
Fr. Fred felt called to the priesthood when he was a child. His faith was nourished by his mother, a faithful Catholic. His father was Methodist, but respected his wife’s faith. When Fr. Fred went to college he was faced with a whole new world: sex and booze was the drug of choice at the time. He realized that he had to make his faith his own, and the call he felt as a child to enter the seminary came back to him. He then experienced a strong faith crisis until the Lord removed the scales from his eyes.
