My journey to faith has been an unlikely one. I am a convert, entering into the Catholic Church only a few years ago, and was a faithful parishioner for several years when I heard the call to the priesthood. Although it was both terrifying and exciting at the same time, by God’s grace I have joyfully been brought to where I am today.
