"Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy" Psalm 126:5

– I began to feel my call to the priesthood as early as senior year of high school but decided going to college would be best for my discernment. It was at Marquette University through my experiences in Campus Ministry, especially during my time assisting with their RCIA program, that I began to feel God deepen my call. There I found tremendous joy in sharing my faith with other young people and getting to know other people’s stories of faith. After college, I decided to spend a year on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota as a Catechist teaching Kindergarten through Third grade. My time as a catechist as well as the examples and support of the Jesuit priests serving the people on the reservation inspired me to enter seminary.

I ask that the faithful pray to Our Heavenly Father that he further clarify His will fo me.  And that, if they feel called to do so, say a decade of the rosary for me as Mary is a certain aid on our pilgrimage to the Father.
