NELSON STEVEN LAGOS-RAMOS

I grew up in a devout Catholic family in Honduras. After my first Holy Communion, I became an altar server and joined the Legion of Mary. In 2018 I moved to Texas and fell in love with the rural life of the countryside. In 2021 through prayer and inspired by the example of several holy and pious priests, I started discerning God’s call for me to enter seminary. Please pray so that together, under the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and our Mother, we may respond to the call of our common vocation, Heaven.

Fun Fact
