Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?When I was in high school, I went on a retreat with ICD youth and learned what it meant to be in relationship with the Trinity. God wanted a relationship with me, wanted friendship with me. It was there that I was prompted (after years of wanting to be a priest) to enter seminary in order to pursue relationship with Jesus. Since then, the Lord has only deepened my desire for spiritual fatherhood and the sacramental life of the priesthood!
