"THE GODFATHER," Msgr. Paul Bochicchio: A Priest For All Seasons

He may not be Vito Corleone, but Msgr. Paul Bochiccho has been "The Godfather" to His HoliMess since the latter was 17 years old. It’s not because the good Monsignor is ”connected” like a Don; instead, this “Don Bochicchio” is connected to THE Don. Not THE Godfather but God THE Father. No one has been an image of THE FATHER to His HoliMess than his hometown, childhood pastor, Msgr. Paul Bochicchio. He vested Fr. Paul Houlis at his ordination. He preached at his first Mass. He preached at his brother’s funeral. He is the reason he is a priest. So, find out about the man who is truly a “priest’s priest” and a priest for all seasons. 

Hear about how a grandmother can make all the difference in the faith of a child. His twenty-minute conversation with Mother Teresa. How a movement of “seekers” began because a teen threw three rocks at him. The power of prayer, Confession, and the Eucharist. What His HoliMess was like as a teenager and how The Godfather dealt with him. How the Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis has affected ministry to the youth, what priests can do about it, and a whole lot more.

Hands down, Msgr. Paul is probably the most authentic and holiest priest Fr. Paul Houlis has ever known. Please spend some time with them now.

About the Podcast

A Holy Mess
With His HoliMess Father Paul
Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess.
Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life!
So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him.
Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast.

Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history.
Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.
