Father Jerry L. Pratt was ordained to the priesthood in June of 2017. He has been leading our parish since June of 2019. Before that, he was assigned to Good Shepherd and St. Joseph (Jasper) respectively as an associate pastor. Fr. Jerry was in seminary from 2011 to 2017. Immediately before seminary, he worked for a medical billing company in Newburgh. Fr. Jerry said, “During my time at the billing company, a job I really enjoyed, I still felt unfulfilled. I began to examine that feeling, and I identified that I felt most fulfilled in situations where I was helping others, especially through counseling. About that time, I felt the call to explore the possibility of becoming a priest. After much prayer and discernment, I applied to seminary to study to become a priest for the Diocese of Evansville. I entered seminary at the age of 45.” Fr. Jerry has led Resurrection through a period of incredible growth.
