Vocation Story

Growing up in a large Catholic family was a great environment in which I was able to discover what is truly important in life, namely our faith and a relationship with the Lord. As I grew up attending Catholic schools I was able to explore the faith and was drawn to it for its beauty and truth. The Lord gently pulled me after him with a quiet but ever growing desire to serve the Church as a priest. After high school, I decided to give Him a chance. I entered St. John Vianney College Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota and have been pursuing my vocation ever since.
