BASIL SNYDER HOUSEWRIGHT III
Ever since I got involved with my faith in high school, I felt a certain adoration of the diocesan priesthood but struggled with doubt for many years. Finally, after going to college for two years and working for two years, I was pushed by my best friend to go on a discernment retreat. That’s where the Lord literally tugged my heart to Him, and I followed that tugging here to seminary.

Fun Fact
I went on 10 retreats between when I started my senior year of high school and when I went off to college. So, about 10 retreats in a 12-month span.
