WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU THOUGHT ABOUT A VOCATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD? I started thinking seriously about the priesthood during my sophomore year of high school. WHO OR WHAT EVENTS INFLUENCED YOUR DISCERNMENT JOURNEY? Prayer, small groups, and the Eucharist were three very important parts of my discernment. Prayer helped me grow deeper in my relationship with God, it opened my heart to God’s voice and will. Small groups helped me grow in chastity and provided the support I needed to make bold decisions in following the Lord. The Eucharist fulfilled Christ’s promise that He would be with me always. WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? People are usually surprised to meet a seminarian who loves hunting and fishing.
