Why do you want to be a priest?
Simply put, I felt the call and I love God. Moreover, as a man, I have a desire to give my life to the service of something much larger than myself and I can’t think of anything I’d rather offer than that to Christ’s bride the Church.
What do you love the most about seminary?
Seminary has given me the chance to discover a lot more about myself that I wouldn’t have otherwise known. It’s been an opportunity to discover my identity as a beloved son and encounter some incredible people and experiences.
What are you most grateful for?
As a baptized Christian, the opportunity to participate in Christ’s same mission two thousand years later.
