Qui Q. Ton

After several years of volunteering in young adult ministry, I was prompted by my parents, friends, and vocation director to consider the priesthood. Initially, I was extremely resistant and unwilling to give up the self-created ideas for my future. But with prayer and encouragement, I gradually opened myself to receive God’s Will, realizing that He only wants what is best for us and how much we all need Him. My discernment revealed the genuine desire God placed in me: to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that all may know and praise His Name to the glory of God the Father.
