During my senior years of high school, the good Lord called me back to Himself and I rediscovered the faith of my mother and the love of that God had for me. As I went through middle school into high school I put the idea of priesthood more and more on the back burner, until I found myself walking somewhat far from God. I have memories of looking at the priest all wide eyed as he would elevate the body and blood of Jesus. Now I first felt the call to the priesthood when I was about 10 years old.

We have been periodically featuring different seminarians on the first of the month by inviting them to share something of themselves – a beautiful sharing of faith and love of Our Lord. As our seminarians will be the future shepherds and our children are the future flock, it seemed a beautiful way for the children to help. Every month we have a Mass offered for this intention. A Mass was offered today for all seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us all in love.
