Joseph Bass, son of Father Frank and Donna Bass, wants to be a Catholic priest, like his fa- ther. He entered St. Joseph’s Seminary in Au- gust. Perhaps there will be a lot of talk, maybe even a few jokes, about taking up the family business or following in his father’s footsteps, but for Joseph Bass, 24, the idea of a priestly vocation is just a wonderful gift from God. If Joseph is ordained after formation in the seminary, the Basses’ situation – father and son priests – would be rare, something they both downplay. “We are different, but we don’t feel different,” Joseph Bass said. Father Bass echoed that sentiment. “I think Father Frank Bass shares a laugh with his youngest son, Joseph, who entered St. Joseph Seminary in August. Although of myself primarily as a dad who hopes and the two would be a rare father/son combo when Joseph is ordained, they said they don’t really feel different.
