Vocation Story:
My vocation story did not begin until I was 19. I had just broken up with my girlfriend of 3 years and was not even considering priesthood as a legitimate vocation for me. I also was marginally Catholic, doing the bare minimum my faith required. I soon started a spiritual exercise for men called Exodus 90. During this time I practiced acts of penance, prayer, and fraternity with a group of 5 other guys. After about a month I felt called to the priesthood. Every day I prayed the rosary and grew much closer to our Blessed Mother. I credit the Blessed Virgin Mary with my reversion to the Faith and discerning my call to the priesthood.
