• “Love God and try to do what you can, small things for him.” — Greg Herrle of St. John Vianney, Brookfield

      In this photo, Greg Herrle, right, visits Rwanda as part of his service as a board member of the Milwaukee-based American Friends of Journey House Actions Rwanda.

      “Marquette University High School was where I really learned to have a faith life beyond the prayers and the basics. It’s where I learned to have genuine friendships and be able to share good times and bad times, and work through stuff. It taught me about that personal relationship. It taught me about taking time for the Examen, and every day taking time to step back. It was truly foundational, transformative,” says Herrle, a member of the class of 2004.

      “All of those pieces kind of from grade school, high school and college, that faith formation that has given me this perspective of, you know, openness and thankfulness and gratefulness.”

      Herrle was blessed to receive that abundance of Christ in education, so perhaps it’s why he feels that beyond his work in the health care finance field, his vocation is to open doors of Catholic education for others.

      Greg is one of many Inspiring Young Catholics in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Do you know one? Let us know in the comments.
