Fr. Dan Brandt: How to Stay Strong During Difficult Times

The Iron Jen Show

Fr. Dan Brandt has been active in the Police Chaplains' Ministry since 2004, assisting his predecessor, Fr. Tom Nangle. Dan was ordained a Priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago in May of 1999. A northwest side native, he has served as Associate Pastor of St. William Parish (in 025), then as Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord Parish in Bridgeport (in 009), before replacing Fr. Nangle upon his retirement in 2011. Now the full-time Director of the Chaplains' Unit, Fr. Dan resides at a parish in Logan Square. Fr. Brandt and the whole Police Chaplains Ministry aimed to provide pastoral care and crisis ministry to members of the CPD family. Police chaplains serve in a wide variety of ways. They may be called upon to assist and support victims in times of crisis, assist in death notifications, respond to suicide incidents, and serve as part of a crisis response team. This episode is an opportunity to tell you about chaplains' work with police officers and also provide advice to members of our communities who face moments of crisis, difficult times, or tragedy.
