I was born in 1991 on the anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima. My parents are Mark and Kay Simmons. In first grade, they sent me to our local Catholic school, and I just graduated from St. Joseph high school this spring. I first started to really discern a call to the priesthood in my junior year--many people have helped me take the steps in that direction. My two best friends in high school, Jodi Simmons and Chris Damian, plus my English and theology teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Beeler, all helped me most in my high school discernment process.
