2 paths to ordination, 1 mom at the center

Mary Roberg, a youth minister and business administrator at St. Henry in Monticello, shared how her family is navigating two different paths to ordination. Her husband, Ben Roberg, has begun formation for the permanent diaconate, while their eldest son is a seminarian at St. John Vianney College Seminary in St. Paul.

Roberg, 40, transitioned to her current roles at St. Henry after working in finance and accounting for 15 years and serving as a stay-at-home mother. She accepted the youth ministry position in 2022 and later took on the role of business administrator. The family recently attended the beatification Mass for Fulton J. Sheen.
