Always a Texan Catholic, I grew to know and love our Lord and His Church in preparing for Confirmation with the St. Ann Life Teen group. I grew in love with the priesthood here, and my love grew throughout the rest of high school as well as my four years at the University of Dallas. There I continued to serve corporally and liturgically, especially through serving in Campus Ministry and singing in the Collegium Cantorum. After a year of graduate studies in Computer Science at UTD, I found myself unable to say "yes" to anything but the seminary.
