- This is a story about how a man's tragic and heartbreaking loss, led him on a path to the priesthood. Fr. Peter Adamski was a top-level executive working with the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson and was married to his college sweetheart Kathy. Together they had a son called John and life was going great. But it was after Kathy was diagnosed with cancer and early on-set Alzheimer's disease, that their life changed forever.
Here is Fr. Peter's inspiring story of giving up all his wealth and riches, to join the priesthood at age 66.

I was drawn to watch this video for some reason… I was watching videos about guitars, musicians and ended up watching this. I saw the notification pop up on my IPad, and I thought to myself, “I’m having coffee and music time…”. Nope, God wanted me to watch this and I’m glad that I did.
The Lord is calling you to get to know Him, dear friend. Will you pick up your cross and follow him?
@@Joyfulminimalist You are very correct and yes….
He sounds like a nice man…
Yes I'm glad that I also did.... Thank U Dear Jesus.... Amen
Any decision you make and take in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you shall be immensely blessed.🙏
His son taught me Calculus in college. The whole time I didn’t know his and his father’s story. Thank you for your witness, Fr. Adamski.
I love this story because it is similar to mine. But the only difference, I want to enter the Convent. I have been praying for a Convent to take me. I am in Discernament. Please pray for me
Praying for you to unite with Christ thru consecration.
Me as well, me as well.
Praying for you Marcella. I pray the Convent will accept you. My daughter's name is Marcella. What a beautiful name.
God's will for you be done. 🙏🙏🙏
I pray for you 🙏🏻
Father, thank you for giving us outdoor Mass during the pandemic. I drove 40 minutes every Sunday, thanks to your dedication.
♥️
Thank you for this story, I cried so much. I'm in difficult situation right now but when this beautiful priest said what are my sufferings compared to His. Oh my Jesus, thank you for guiding me to see this.
🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Unceasingly pray for all priests! Thanks so much for your consecration life for us. 🙏
I am so inspired as I see the beauty of the Priesthood as the most joyful vocation. I see pure joy in Father Adamski.
What a most beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes. God is patient and if we are faithful to Him He’ll bless us without measure.
Beautiful story. I wish a late life vocation for nuns was possible. They are needed in Catholic hospitals,schools etc.
Theta are. Look up sisters of our lady immaculate!
I have been thinking about a later in life vocation. Secular life is so empty and I feel like I’m chasing things that have no value. I feel mostly empty unless I’m in church or helping others
What a special man
Just..beautiful.
What a beautiful story! It so touched my heart! God bless you, Father Peter! ❤️🙏🌹
Thank you Fr. Peter
Beautiful story love my Catholic Faith .
Beautiful..God Bless you Father..made me cry
This is one of the best videos I've seen.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and inspiring story, Father. I was in tears through much of it, being moved by the strength of your love for both your wife and God. May God continue to bless you in your spiritual journey as a priest!
Wow! Tough to watch, but touching.
I was drawn to this video too. My husband I think is in the early stages of dementia, and this is just what I needed to hear. What a good husband he was. Its really difficult seeing your loved one disappearing before your own eyes. I’m sure he’s a very good priest, and the experiences he had makes him understand and help parishioners who are struggling with health issues and family ones too. God bless you Father for listening to Gods call.
Just... Wow !
I have no words...
Thank you Fr. Adamski for sharing your story, for your Priesthood and your yes to God. Some of my takeaways-
“O Jesus give me a heart of love”
“I do everything today in Your Name and Your Honor and Thank You for ____” I will fill out the blank daily as you do.
May continue shinning His Light on you always. May your loving Kathy be rejoicing with God in heaven. Amen. 🙏🏻❤️📿
What a beautiful life, story, and witness!! We never know when our vocation will come.
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL STORY!💛💚🩷
I pray for more men to join the Priesthood HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE 🙏 🕊️🙏
HERE IN IRELAND SND AROUND THE WORLD 🙏
My priest in Florida has a daughter who attends his mass. It is such a blessing.
I once met a bishop on a train ride to Rome and he was in his travel attire, looking as any other priest: black suit and a collar, a tiny crusifix on his neck and we really had a nice long chat together becouse we ended up sitting in front of eachother while the entire trip was ahead of us, then a phone rang and he picked up the call and anwsered it with: Ciao Amore (Hello Love) and his eyes lightened up and his hole expression changed. He looked as a man in love... after the phone call ended he explained that it was his daughter checking up on him on how the trip was going. Practicly, he got married very young, his wife died leaving him with a toddler, so he raised his daughter and once she was well set in life, he entered in seminary and was ordered priest at age 56. He even had grandchildren.
Please sister am called diana am Uganda Africa my mum she is sick she operation and don't have money please help me
Thank you for this. Many of us are dealing with living for Christ in our later years and how to run this race and finish strong
I love father Peter I was drawn to him at a wake we chatted I was memorized he pointed to his church across the street and told me that’s where he lives so all week I thought about him and our conversation and I said to my husband we have to go to church on Sunday we went and we been going every Sunday for little over a year now and I look forward to giving him a hug every week he energizes me and keeps me going for the rest of the week he is truly a remarkable man and this story touched my heart I cried like a baby but God was in the right place at the right time and put him where he needs to be his love for others and his compassion is truly remarkable I will always honor and cherish our friendship he’s made a huge difference in my life thank you so much father Peter and I truly recommend you all going to at least one of his services you will be drawn in I promise it’ll be a good choice everyone have an awesome amazing day and again father Peter thank you so so much I truly love you from the bottom of my heart to the top I’m truly blessed
May his wife rest in eternal peace and may GOD give him, his son, family members, and loved ones strength and courage AMEN🙏🏽🕊️❤️🩹✝️
