Why did you decide to enter seminary? I asked for the grace to follow the Lord each step in the path he laid out for my life. From then he made it clear that I was to enter the seminary. Who is your favorite saint? St. Francis of Assisi What is your favorite book? “The Secret of the Rosary” by St. Louis De Montfort Do you have a favorite Bible verse? “I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:14-15). Did anyone (priest, religious sister, friend, etc.) make an impact on your decision to enter the seminary or discern the priesthood? Msgr. John Richter was the first person to seriously present the idea of me becoming a priest, and it grew from there.
