WILLIAM LEWIS STIVERS
The Story of God’s call for me is rooted in a desire to be Christ to others. I graduated from Wyoming Catholic College in 2019 with a Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts and I worked as an EMT before entering seminary in 2020. Whether I have been working on an ambulance or serving in a parish, God has given me the desire to be Christ’s ambassador. I have two younger brothers and one younger sister, in addition to my parents who have been a wonderful support in pursuing this vocation. My family has helped me see the Church as the family I want to be a minister for.
