I am currently 28 years old.  I spent my childhood in Sanborn as the youngest of five kids.  I have one sister who is the oldest.  I graduated from Niagara Wheatfield High School and Canisius College.  My only job before I entered the seminary was brochure delivery.  I did that for about six years.          
            I have enjoyed my five years in the seminary.  I am currently taking Canon Law, Eschatology, and Sacraments of Healing.  I have had great Field Education experiences, including the opportunity in Second Theology to work at the Bissonette House with Sr. Karen Klimczak.   I worked at Voice Buffalo during Third Theology.           I think I was open to a vocation because the people in my life always encouraged me to consider it.  I did not really consider it all that much until college.  Then I realized that I had to at least look into the seminary.  Since entering, my vocation has become stronger and stronger.  By God's grace, I will hopefully be ordained a priest on May 17^th of this year.
