REYES HERIBERTO PALOMARES SOLIS
I was born in Mexico and moved to the United States in 2004. The oldest of four children, I was raised as a Catholic in Greenville, South Carolina, and attended Mass regularly. My vocation story began when I was 12 years old and began serving as an altar boy. During high school I took a trip to Holy Trinity Seminary, which I enjoyed. I applied soon after my trip and entered seminary after high school.
