Vocation Story | I have felt a call to the priesthood since early in high school. I talked a lot with Fr. Manno about this before I entered college, and I even made a visit to a college seminary. I decided to go to regular college, because I did not quite feel ready for seminary. After a few years in college, I still felt the call. I contacted Fr. Manno again, because he was now the vocation director. We met up quite a few times. I really felt drawn to the priesthood, and I felt so much peace when considering this lifestyle. I spent a lot of time in adoration during my last year in college, and this definitely helped my discernment. |
Priest Aspirations | I look forward to walking with people in their journey of faith, and doing anything that I can to help them reach heaven. |
What has been your favorite/most memorable story of your time at Mundelein thus far? | I went on a camping trip with the seminarians before school started, and there was a big storm and I thought our tent was going to fall down! |
Anything Else | I have seven siblings! |
How can Mundelein's donors and community pray for you? | Pray that I may be able to have a completely open mind during seminary, and be ready to do anything that will help me become a better servant. |
