My vocation story began when I was little and living in Corpus Christi. The pastor of my parish came to me after Mass one day, made the sign of the cross on my forehead and said, “You will become a priest one day.” I didn’t really understand what this meant at the time but slowly began to feel the Lord working in my life. I attended Frassati Catholic High School which helped me to understand my faith and this call I felt from God. I became close with many priests who showed the greatness of the vocation and helped me accept God’s call.
