Sacred Heart Catholic Church Comfort, Texas

Rev. Rudy Carrola 

My name is Rudy Carrola, Jr., most people call me Fr. Rudy and I am very happy to be here in Comfort. I was born and raised in San Antonio and attended Catholic schools from 1^st grade to college. If you count the five years, I was in the seminary then I have completed twenty – one years of Catholic education. I have one brother and sister, both older than me, and one niece. Growing up our parents thought us by example the values of family, religion, hard work, sacrifice, and money management. It has been many years since they have passed away but I know they are with me in spirit. From time to time I get thoughts I know are from them and like all loving parents I know from their place in heaven they continue to watch over their children. As a young man the plans I had for my life did not include being a priest. In fact, that was the furthest thing from my mind.  The thought of being a priest was persistent the four years I was in college and the two years afterward. I had built mental walls in my mind to keep this thought out but the walls were not strong enough. I had wanted to do things my way but finally yielded to God and decided I would do his will and not mine.  Looking back, I can now see that was the best decision I have ever made.  It started a journey which I have been on for 32 years and now it brings me to you.
