This is part of a series to introduce the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
What is your home parish? Saint John the Baptist, Edmond
What seminary do you attend? Conception Seminary College
If it is God’s will, what year will you be ordained a priest? If it is God’s will, I will be ordained a priest in 2025.
What advice would you give to someone discerning a call to the priesthood? Listen. God speaks to us in the quiet and stillness of our hearts and it is through listening to him that God’s plan for your life will be open to you. Give yourself to Mary, the mother of all vocations.
What do you look forward to most about becoming a priest? I look forward most to giving the sacraments to God’s people and most of all being the witness of faith the same way priests have been a witness of faith in my life.
Name one thing that every Catholic needs to know. Every Catholic needs to know the importance and how much of a blessing it is to receive the Holy Eucharist.
Why choose a life of sacrificial love? Through living my life through sacrificial love, I have truly felt more love and the loving presence of Christ in my life than I ever have before, and this is the feeling and the way I wish to live my life forever.
