Monsignor John Enzler grew up in a Catholic home in Bethesda with 12 siblings. His family taught him that faith should shape your life. He was ordained as a priest in 1973, and now serves as president and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, which serves more than 100,000 people in the region every year.
