Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?Growing up, my pastor encouraged me to discern a vocation. Senior year of high school, I decided to attend Benedictine College where I studied theology. Through those classes and my career as a reporter for Catholic news sites, I was introduced to the beauty and majesty of the Church and witnessed firsthand the love and devotion of so many priests. As I prayed junior year of college about what truly “captivated my heart” I realized that it was Jesus Christ and the Church and in that the Lord invited me to apply to and enter seminary.
