That’s what makes us Catholic. You become Catholic because you believe in the Real Presence. A priest who celebrates the liturgy well believes what he is doing.” He also noted that the sacrament of reconciliation or Confession heled bring him back to the Church. Butker with his wife Isabelle has two children, with St. Mary’s as their parish.

Butker hopes to continue to promote the Sacred Liturgy in the Kansas City area, but as a new father,  “You can witness through your life, but you also need to witness through catechesis, which comes through education,” he said. “And, as the father of the family it’s my responsibility to pass on the truths of the faith to my children.”
