Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?Growing up, my mom would take me to mass at Ascension, which led to me becoming an Altar server starting in 5th grade. I was consistently immersed in the Catholic Faith and Tradition, going to Catholic elementary and middle school and eventually going to CBC. In High School, I was not around the Seminary, rather choosing to become an intergral member of Campus Ministry at CBC and Youth Ministry at Ascension. At Ascension, Fr. Stephen Schumacher and Fr. Kent Pollman recurited myself and other guys for a High School Server program. From there, I fell in love with the liturgy and the ministry of the priest. I entered Seminary in 2025 after my Senior Year of High School.
