I always wanted to be a priest, and this call was strengthened by daily recitation of the Holy Rosary and frequent Holy Hours. My parents encouraged me to respond to this call and have supported me throughout my discernment. I have been blessed to discern with 2 religious orders but feel called to diocesan life.
