Growing up I never thought that I would think about becoming a priest, but through much prayer and discernment I found this to be a great joy in my life to discern this call from God. When I was in high school, I participated in working with the youth ministry office and I felt like that was God's first initial call for me to serve the people of God. Also, I attended the diocese vocation camp and it was there that I truly felt the Holy Spirit working in me and after thinking and praying I decided to answer the call and enter seminary after high school. God has blessed me tremendously in the seminary and I hope that He may guide me according to his most holy will.
