Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?When I was nine, my brother entered the seminary. Since then, I have always wanted to be a priest. My family would go to daily Mass and pray the rosary every evening. This nurtured a routine of prayer that allowed me to listen for God's voice. During high school, I found adoration and Seminary retreats to be very helpful in ultimately helping me decide to enter the seminary as soon as I graduated. It has been a great eight years since then!
