| Vocation Story | I went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Lourdes, and Fatima. It was during the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. After the pilgrimage, I decided to leave everything and enter the seminary. I guess Mary played a big role 🙂 |

| What has been your favorite/most memorable story of your time at Mundelein thus far? | I am just inspired every day by all the seminarians I meet here I Mundelein. One brother was not even Catholic when he wanted to become a priest. One brother used to work at the cemetery. He literally lives the life of the Gospel, he follows Jesus by “letting the dead bury the dead.” |
| Anything Else | I love praying for others. |
| How can Mundelein's donors and community pray for you? | Pray for me that I will always be filled with the Holy Spirit and that I will become more like Christ, especially the strength to carry my daily cross. |
