My vocation story can really be summed up in one word:
“Eucharist.” The Eucharist has been the force driving my vocation since my
first Mass, which I attended as a Protestant at the age of 12. That
life-changing experience stuck with me, that encounter with Christ in the
flesh. The Eucharist is what drew me to embrace my Christian faith as an adult
after many years away from the Lord, to convert to Catholicism, and ultimately,
to discern a call to the priesthood, to be a minister of the Eucharist.
In answering this call to the priesthood I left my career as
a lawyer, and friends and family to enter the seminary at Mount Angel for the
diocese of Helena this August. The blessings I’ve received already in these few
weeks are too many to count. I am deeply grateful for the support of the
diocese, and especially Bishop Thomas of course, which is paving the way for
this vocation.
