From Harvard to a Monastery: Fr. Dan Kirby on Finding Your "Pearl of Great Price" – 07/24/2026
The Catholic Morning Show
Fr. Dan Kirby, pastor of St. John the Apostle in Norwalk, joins The Catholic Morning Show to preview the Gospel for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time — Jesus' parable of the pearl of great price. He shares a striking story from his seminary days about a Harvard-educated heir to the J.P. Morgan banking fortune who walked away from his inheritance to become a Benedictine monk. It's a reflection on what each of us is willing to give up for the treasure of knowing Christ.
