Vocation Story | I always went to Mass growing up, but I only started looking more into the Catholic faith when I was challenged by friends and family. In college, I became involved with FOCUS and other ministries at the Newman Center on campus. As I started to pray more, I heard a calling to the priesthood and decided to apply to study for the Springfield, IL diocese. |
