Who inspired you to be a priest?
My inspiration came from both Fr. Rob Mulderink and Fr. Andrew Ayers by their devotion to the sacraments and their ministry to our young people. They have shown me that joy and peace is possible in the life of a priest.
Why do you want to be a priest?
The sacraments and the beauty of the Mass. As an Altar server I was given a great opportunity to see the mass up close and this experience gave me a new perspective on the priesthood.
What are you most grateful for?
My experiences with the GVSU Focus Missionaries and the Laker Catholic group have taught me what it means to be a true friend and to be surrounded by an authentic Catholic community.
