Father Matt Foley. Who lives in a TENT! DOWN BY THE RIVERRRR! (The Euphrates, that is.)

From March, 2008:

Rev. Matt Foley has stood by the ornate oak altar of his church and made the sign of the cross over dozens of young soldiers bound for Iraq and Afghanistan. Each time, his blessing has echoed through the Little Village sanctuary and back to a long-ago promise unfulfilled.

In the early 1980s, Foley faced diverging paths: Follow his brother into the Army, or follow his faith into the priesthood. Reluctantly, he felt pulled to the church.

But he told his brother, Mike, that he would join him in the service if war ever came.The U.S. invaded Iraq in 1991. Mike commanded a company of Bradley Fighting Vehicles as they stormed across the desert. Matt was two years out of the seminary, sworn to the church, tied to his priestly duties at a North Lawndale parish.

No One Steals From God

Chicago Priest Chases Down Church Bandits


Two men who allegedly tried to rob a Chicago Catholic Church late Wednesday afternoon are in police custody after a priest chased them down.The collection box at St. Agnes Church on the Southwest side had been robbed before so the priest and church volunteers were on alert. Through video security cameras, they saw a man brazenly lay out tools and try to pry open the box where about $300 was kept.

Father Matt Foley ran from the rectory to the church and grabbed the man’s tools. They fought in the church and the altercation spilled into the street and then the alley. While parishioners called police Father Foley tried to keep the robber from stabbing him.“He had threatened me that he had a knife so I saw the knife pouch on his belt. So, knowing that he had a knife --- I had to physically keep his hand away from the knife so I wouldn’t be harmed. So I put him basically in a half-nelson and held him to the ground,” said Father Foley.

Police arrested two men, 24-year-old Mark Lopez and 44-year-old Arturo Camarillo, who Father Foley says had received meals and other charity from his church. They are holding the suspects at the 10th District.

Father Foley said he learned to fight growing up with four brothers and two sisters. He said he would take a similar risk again to save the church's money. He says, "No one steals from God."

Now THAT'S motivational, folks.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for him.
