NAHUM RODRIGUEZ-SALDIERNA

I was born and raised in a Catholic family where we prayed the Rosary and went to Mass on Sundays. I became involved in a youth group run by the Legionaries of Christ where I learned about the Faith, the saints, and the virtues. I started feeling called to the priesthood through the life and example of these holy priests and brothers. I grew in my faith through World Youth Day 2019 in Panama through the sacraments, meeting Catholics and priests from around the world, and through Eucharistic adoration.
