My Story
At the beginning of my third year of college, I rediscovered my faith after several years of being more or less uninterested in it. Over the next two years, I steadily became more interested in God and in what he wanted for me.
By the end of my fourth year of college, I began wondering whether God might be asking me to become a priest. After a few months of trying to run from this interest in the priesthood that was stirring within me, I was finally able to accept that it really was God’s call for me to enter the seminary. So, in the fall of 2004, I became a seminarian of the Diocese of Bismarck.
