What is your home parish?
My home parish is St. John in Edmond.
What seminary do you attend?
I attend Conception Seminary College in Missouri.
If it is God’s will, what year will you be ordained a priest?
God willing, I will be ordained in the year of our Lord 2026.
What advice would you give to someone discerning a call to the priesthood?
My advice would be to take the leap and pursue the call. If you enter seminary and are not called, the worst that can happen is you leave a better man.
What do you look forward to most about becoming a priest?
The ability to serve God’s people through the sacraments, especially that of reconciliation and the Mass.
Name one thing that every Catholic needs to know.
Go to confession often, not only will it assist in the growth of your relationship with God, but also, a state of grace is required to receive the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord in the Eucharist.
Why choose a life of sacrificial love?
Living a life of sacrificial love helps in growth with your relationship with God and gives an opportunity to serve the people of God in a more complete way. Furthermore, it allows one to stay humble through Christ and raise his name by giving him all the glory.
