ANTHONY SANCHEZ LOPEZ

My vocation story started when I was in my second year of Confirmation which was during my senior year of high school. The thought of priesthood hit me in the middle of my Confirmation year, soon after that I ignored it and tried to go the religious route. However, God fished me out of that route with the Sacraments.  As time progressed, the love I had for the Sacraments grew as well as the desire to be a priest. Fresh out of high school I tried joining seminary but then took a year of discernment. After that year I entered.
