MANUEL “MANNY” MORA
I have felt the calling to the priesthood for as long as I can remember. As a child I liked going to Mass and playing Mass! Moreover, my passion for art and music always gravitated toward glorifying God. I graduated high school with the intention to praise God through a career in sacred architecture or organ playing. However, I felt God calling me to follow him more intimately, which led me to discern a priestly vocation at HTS, and I cannot be more thankful.
