Baseball season is in full swing–the perfect time to discover the incredible story of the “baseball priest”!

Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player.

But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues…

It would be from God to become a Catholic priest!

In A Grand Slam for God: A Journey from Baseball Star to Catholic Priest, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his conversion to Catholicism, to his success in college baseball and plans to enter Major League Baseball, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation.

Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.
