LUKE EDWIN HUBACEK

I grew up as a cradle Catholic attending Mass weekly with my parents. In middle school and high school, I was involved in youth group at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Bryan. After graduating high school, I attended Texas A&M University where I graduated in May of 2022 with a degree in International Studies and a minor in Spanish. Although I felt the initial call to the priesthood in middle school, I did not seriously start to discern whether the Lord was calling me to seminary until the spring semester of my freshman year of college. I started to attend spiritual direction and discernment events at St. Mary’s Catholic Center. During this time, I made the decision, in prayer, that God was calling me to apply to seminary. After four years at Texas A&M, I entered HTS as a seminarian for the Diocese of Austin in 2022, and I am excited to begin my second year of seminary.
