Reason for Applying: I felt God calling me to explore the possibility of being a priest and the College Candidate program seemed an appropriate way for me to discern this call.

What does the priesthood mean to you: To me the priesthood is a unique way of giving oneself completely to God to do his will, fulfilling Jesus' command to "Go forth and teach all nations."  It is being part of something great that extends centuries all the way back to the apostles and Jesus Christ himself.
