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, but 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.
