Reason for Applying: I felt it was time... God had planted a seed within me that took several years for me to understand and finally be able to answer His call to follow Christ. Discernment is a journey and seminary was the next step.

What does the priesthood mean to you: I feel that I am called to be “a man for others” and I have had some wonderful priestly role-models, especially the late Msgr. Thomas Merson. I hope that Christ forms me into a priest like Msgr. Merson so that, through me, others may come to know the Lord.
