St. Dominic

When I was 14yrs old I first felt the call to the diocesan priesthood. However, throughout high school, I didn’t give it much thought but as I was nearing graduation I felt the call of Jesus to grow closer to him. This led me to discern a religious community called the Community of St. John for two years where I grew in my relationship with Christ. Through this deepening of my prayer life, I felt a desire in my heart again for the diocesan priesthood and serving a parish in my own diocese. After a period of discernment, I decided to enter the college seminary after spending a year in Grand Rapids working and getting general education courses done at the local community college. I graduated from St. John Vianney College Seminary in the Spring of 2022 and applied for Mundelein to begin in the fall of 2022.

Administering the Sacraments

Please pray that my heart becomes more and more conformed to the Sacred Heart of Jesus throughout my time at Mundelein seminary.
