Vocation Story | I began to feel the call to the priesthood shortly after realizing the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. I did not share this with anyone, but it was continually called out by others… even people who did not know me! I attended the Priestly Discernment Program in Steubenville and worked as a Youth Minister following graduation. Working within a parish strengthened my desire to serve the people of God. |
