John Paul Jacob

I grew up Catholic in Coppell, Texas, living with my brother and sister and the vibrant community at my home parish. After attending many different schools as a child, I settled in at Cistercian Preparatory School, where I found an opportunity to flourish both spiritually and intellectually with a supportive and faithful community of brothers alongside me. As I continued in high school, I began to feel a draw to deepen my relationship with Christ, especially in the Eucharist. After pursuing my faith in high school alongside my amazing youth group at St. Ann, I decided to apply to seminary.
