SEAN ANDREW BRYAN

I converted during my freshman year in college at Texas State. I realized that becoming Catholic and taking my faith seriously meant opening my will fully to what God desired in my life. So, when I entered the Church I began to discern by going on a dating fast. During my dating fast, I met Dominicans who lived a very joyful life, which opened my eyes more fully towards a celibate vocation. Through prayer, spiritual direction and signal graces, God made it evident for me to join seminary, so I became a seminarian 2 years after becoming Catholic.
