Samuel James Cavanna
Growing up in a beautiful Catholic family, very close to a parish, I’m amazed at God’s providence. In high school I began taking my faith more seriously, stopping by the adoration chapel almost every day. No extraordinary miracle or revelation happened during those visits, but it was in that small room that I began noticing a desire to lay down my life for the salvation of souls. Wanting to hear confessions at any time, to revere our Lord as best I can, and to bring Him to the broken, I decided to discern the priesthood with the help of the Church.
