Father of 6 speaks to how being a parent has challenged and changed him.

In memory of Joshua Comeau, who passed away in January 2019 — may he rest in peace. We invite you to join Grotto in praying for Josh's family.

Josh Comeau speaks to how his 6 kids have changed his life. "I need these kids, because I need to grow out of my child-like ways," he shares. "There's nothing more challenging than being a parent. But there's nothing more rewarding."

Video Transcript

Josh Comeau: We have Joshua Joseph, Mia Therese, Annabelle Bernadette, Grace Philamena, and Ezekiel Paul. I love them to death. I can't imagine life without them. Which is kind of ironic, because before I had any kids, I definitely could imagine life without kids.

God works in mysterious ways. When Elaine came along, she was a game changer. She stole my heart, and from there it was just... I need these kids. I need these kids, because I need to grow out of my child-like ways.

There's nothing more challenging than being a parent. But there's nothing more rewarding. And, I don't think you'll find any parent that disagrees with that — any professional parent. I’m just kidding! (Laughter)
