Professional Soccer Player Enters the Priesthood



This news is from this summer, but it is too good not to share it. This summer 26-year-old Chase Hilgenbrinck, captain of Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, announced his retirement from professional soccer. His reason: God was calling him to the priesthood.

You can read the whole article here, but here is a good pull quote:

"It's not that I'm ready to leave soccer. I wouldn't leave the game for just any other job. I'm moving on for the Lord. I want to do the will of the Lord, I want to do what he wants for me, not what I want to do for myself."
