Steven Michael Kirk

I was born into a Protestant family in Kentucky in 2000. In 2006, my mother converted to Catholicism. Around that time, I began to be exposed to the spiritual fatherhood of the priests at my childhood parish in Georgia. I fell in love with altar serving in 2010, and with that calling on my heart having never gone away, I applied to seminary in Tyler after achieving an undergraduate degree in liberal arts and sciences in 2023.
