DOYE REASONER BAKER

From the time I was little, I remember having the desire to be Christ’s priest. However, it was not until after my reversion in high school that I began to seriously consider this vocation. The Catholic Community at Texas A&M helped me grow in my love for the Triune God through the Liturgy, personal prayer, and Mary.  The Holy Spirit also worked on me, and my desire to love and serve the Lord grew greater and deeper. From this desire to serve the Mystical Body of Christ, the Lord has led me to discern His priesthood.
