Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?After my freshman year of high school, I went to Kenrick Glennon Days as a Junior Counselor and it was there that I felt a tug at my heart to enter seminary. I was struck by the joy and holiness of the collegiate seminarians that ran Kenrick Glennon Days. I went back the next year after my sophomore year and felt the call again, so I started attending discernment retreats at the seminary and began to grow in my faith. As I attended these retreats I felt joy and peace every time I went back to the seminary. After two years of discernment, I entered seminary straight out of high school.
