Father Brian O'Brien

Priest of the @dioceseoftulsa. Rector of Holy Family Cathedral in Downtown Tulsa, OK. St. Damien of Molokai, pray for us!

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

As a priest, I don’t really have goals besides building a great parish and growing in personal holiness.

But this is one of my goals.

There is a Catholic priest, Father Jerry Herda, who serves as chaplain for the Milwaukee Brewers and celebrates Mass at their stadium for players, coaches, and staff.

Do you remember the day Ken Caminiti debuted?

Because you should.

So great.

@Joeinblack @mattmahermusic @skroger If the Cathedrals Tour they are doing ever gets close to you, go. It was really, really beautiful.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

It was a beautiful evening at Holy Family Cathedral with Catholic artists @mattmahermusic and @skroger.

500+ people from across the area and a variety of churches gathering at our diocesan cathedral.

I'm grateful the tour came to Tulsa.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

@kelly_o_edwards Good to see you! Sorry to be distracted.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

I just finished listening to this audiobook. I loved it especially learning about his time as a missionary in Peru. And a few familiar names of Augustinians with ties to Tulsa.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Pope Leo XIV made history as the first American to lead the Catholic Church. But the path that brought him there stretched from Chicago’s South Side to decades of missionary work in Peru and ultimately to the highest ranks of the Vatican. https://t.co/BYnNSzeTe6

In Oklahoma’s Bible Belt, the Catholic Church is experiencing remarkable growth in the Diocese of Tulsa, with 681 people entering the Catholic Church last Easter, a 46% increase from the previous year. The diocese, which serves approximately 60,000 Catholics, also has 17 seminarians in formation for the Catholic priesthood.

Preaching on this tomorrow. Cardinal George on the St. Peter’s balcony in 2005.

Caesar is dead. Jesus Christ is alive and He’s King of the Universe!

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

Inject this into my veins! I love being Catholic.

Can't wait to take the parish to see this.

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

One of the coolest things we’ve ever been a part of. It changed my life radically, and I think it’s going to change the world.

Check out the trailer for Pétros Ení.

Coming soon to Hallow.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

Good advice for those discerning marriage, priesthood, or religious life. Take the next step. Ask her out. Visit a religious community. Call your vocation director.

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Finding your calling in life isn’t always about knowing exactly where you’re going. Sometimes, it’s about being willing to move forward without having all the answers.

You can spend years trying to figure out what you’re meant to do, but clarity often comes through action, reflection, and being open to possibilities you hadn’t considered.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

Also priests.

I know we're a huge demographic.

[Taylor Murphy @Tay_Murph]

Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?

Maybe start with the commercials.

Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports

Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.

You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.

Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

@bmet7 Ouch. 60 minutes should be 15-20 people. But there's always special circumstances.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

Excellent advice for the Sacrament of Confession.

I would add, "Arrive at the time Confessions begin (or before) to make sure you get in."

Many times, people come a few minutes before it ends or before Mass begins and are disappointed they didn't get in. Arriving early (if possible) is always best.

[National Catholic Register @NCRegister]

Confession ‘is a place to encounter God’s mercy, his forgiveness, and not only that, to receive grace,’ says Dominican Father Thomas Petri.
