Newly ordained Jesuit priest Fr. Matthew Ippel, SJ, started his journey toward becoming Catholic while on an immersion trip to Honduras and El Salvador when he was a rising senior at U of D Jesuit High School and Academy.
As it turns out, he was also beginning his vocation toward becoming a Jesuit Catholic priest.
Fr. Ippel, who is spending this summer working with refugees in Sudan, was ordained June 14 alongside six other priests for the Midwest Jesuits province.
