| Vocation Story | I went off to college not very rooted in my faith. Gradually, God began to draw near to me and I started getting more serious about my faith. I felt the call to the priesthood later in college but pushed it away for several years as I entered the work force as a CPA at a public accounting firm. Once I realized the call wasn’t going away, I began to get more serious about my discernment and try to surrender more to God’s will each day. I went on a couple discernment retreats, visited the seminary and finally made the move to enter seminary. I am in my second year at Mundelein seminary now and there is honestly no place I would rather be. |
| Priest Aspirations | I look forward to fulfilling the vocation that has God called me to and being a humble servant for His people. I look forward to diving in to the life of a parish and into the lives of parishioners as a spiritual father. |
| How can Mundelein's donors and community pray for you? | Please pray that I continue to fall more in love with the person of Jesus Christ. |
