Vocation Story: 

I have never really known a time that I have not felt drawn towards the priesthood. The first time however that I can point to with certainty was when I was going around the inside of a church, some eight years ago, and learning what and where everything was. While doing this, I happened to look out over the altar from the sanctuary, and something felt very right about it. Ever since then, I have felt this drawing, sometimes more than others, and especially during Eucharistic Adoration. And so, as I continued to pray for guidance, I slowly became more and more sure that this was the path that I was meant to pursue during this point in my life.
