Fr. Daniel Whelan is a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville, KY, now serving in the parishes of Holy Cross and Emmanuel Catholic Churches in the southern Kentucky missions. Prior to becoming a priest, Fr. Daniel was a school teacher in both middle and high schools. Besides his normal duties as a priest--which he loves--some other activities he likes are mountain biking (even when it's muddy), snow skiing (even when I'm falling), and playing the piano (even when my cats may not appreciate the noise).
