Like father, like father: Dad and son ordained Catholic priests

From Ft. Worth-


A tall, young man dressed in black kneels before the alter at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Keller.

"Do you promise respect and obedience to your Ordinary?"

"I do," the young man responds.

It's rehearsal for the ordination ceremony to become a Catholic priest.

Or as they say in one family, like father, like son.

"Go ahead."

"No, you go ahead," they talk over each other in comfortable, comedic banter.

"[I'm] Father Chuck Hough III," the older man says.

"And I will be father Chuck Hough IV," said the younger.

"Who is my son," his dad adds with a big laugh.

Talk about a proud father. Proud son, too.

Chuck Hough the third and fourth are Deacons from the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth.
