This is part of a series to introduce the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
What is your home parish? My home parish is Christ the King in Oklahoma City.
What seminary do you attend? I attend Conception Seminary College.
If it is God’s will, what year will you be ordained a priest? God willing, I will be ordained a priest in 2026, at the earliest.
What advice would you give to someone discerning a call to the priesthood? My advice would be to pray about it and really think about what you are doing. If you feel called to the priesthood talk to your pastor so he knows you are discerning.
What do you look forward to most about becoming a priest? I look forward to administering the sacraments, celebrating Mass, and making a positive change in many lives.
Name one thing that every Catholic needs to know. The Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Never receive him in a state of mortal sin.
Why choose a life of sacrificial love? A life of sacrificial love is what we are called to do, if you truly live out your full potential in Christ (whether you are called to priesthood, religious life or marriage) you will live a life of sacrificial love.
