Who inspired you to be a priest?
Fr. David Michael Moses from watching many of his Youtube videos growing up and seeing what he does as a priest! Another priest that inspired me is my parish priest Fr. Victor Kynam. His reverence when celebrating mass allowed me to truly believe that Jesus is present in the Body and Blood.

Why do you want to be a priest?
To allow people to have a person to talk to whether it be a high point, low point, or anything in between in their everyday life and of course to bring Jesus to the people.

What are you most looking forward to in seminary formation?
I’m looking forward to the time I have for prayer and also being able to attend daily mass.

What is your favorite scripture passage?
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)
