The Priest who saved a soul, a marriage and a family

In the spring of 2020, Kevin Wells found himself in the middle of a marriage in crisis – and despite his need for fellowship he faced a chorus of experts telling him and the rest of the country to isolate to stop the spread of Covid. But God had other plans, and He manifested them through one priest. Kevin tells the story.

He is the author of Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz (Ignatius Press) and the bestselling The Priests We Need to Save the Church and Burst.
