NAHUM RODRIGUEZ-SALDIERNA

I was born and raised in a Catholic family. I first felt the call to the priesthood during World Youth Day in Panama after which I decided to take my faith into my own hands and not just practice it out of obedience to my parents. After high school, I lived at a discernment house where I grew in my faith and discovered my prayer life. After going on a mission trip for a summer with FOCUS, I felt convinced that God was calling me to the priesthood. Through daily mental prayer and the rosary, my vocation was fostered.
