“Life after COVID” is the major theme in this new “Five Questions” conversation between Paulist Fr. Frank Desiderio and our old friend Mike Hayes.

Fr. Frank is our first consultor (chief advisor to the president of the Paulist Fathers). He also leads parish missions and retreats, as well as directs our summer home, St. Mary’s of the Lake, at LakeGeorge, NY.

Fr. Frank also is a poet. He has composed a poem for every Sunday of the three-year cycle of Sunday Gospel passages. Experience these at Fr. Frank’s YouTube channel.

Earlier in his priesthood, Fr. Frank was president of Paulist Productions; director of the Paulist Center in Boston; and author of the the Paulist Press book “Can You Let Go of a Grudge?”
