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 Saint Francis of Assisi in Oklahoma City.
What seminary do you attend? I attend Conception Seminary College in Conception, Mo.
If it is God’s will, what year will you be ordained a priest? God willing, I will be ordained a priest in 2027.
What advice would you give to someone discerning a call to the priesthood? If you have felt called, don't be afraid to talk to someone about it, like the vocations director or your pastor or a seminarian. They can point you in the right direction.
What do you look forward to most about becoming a priest? I am looking forward to bringing Christ to people through my work and spread joy in the community.
Name one thing that every Catholic needs to know. Jesus is present in the Eucharist.
Why choose a life of sacrificial love? When you love something, you are willing to sacrifice anything for it. I love the Church, and I am open to being one of its priests. God willing, of course.
