DAVID SYLVESTER CAHILL
I first heard the call to the priesthood in 10th grade, during the 2020 quarantine. I was living a life that flowed between prayer and work with my family and time spent outside. During that simple but fulfilling time, I felt a draw toward the priesthood. Throughout the rest of high school and a very influential year in college, I felt the call, and because of a short interaction with a helpful priest, I finally answered it.
