Father Dave and Bishop Joseph L. Coffey of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, sat down during the bishop’s recent visit to Franciscan University. Bishop Coffey talked about how he finally stopped running from his priestly vocation and the big role Franciscan’s Defending the Faith Conference played in hearing that call. He also shared about his decades as a Navy chaplain, why military service is an honorable profession, the “craziest day” of his life, and why he loves talking with his fellow veterans.
