BASIL SNYDER HOUSEWRIGHT III
I first felt the Lord tug my heart to the priesthood on a discernment retreat in December 2021. Through subsequent discernment events, including a visit to Holy Trinity Seminary, I finally applied to be a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Since being accepted I have completed my first two years of formation and have begun my third year of seminary in the Discipleship IV stage here at Holy Trinity Seminary.
