TIMOTHY MICHAEL SPJUT

I am a cradle Catholic from a family of one brother and five sisters. There are plenty of things that I have prioritized over my faith, such as sports and school, which means I was never truly happy or at peace. This changed, though, after high school when I began to question my purpose in life. Ultimately my purpose was found in God, and, through the rosary and reading the lives of the saints, I was granted the desire by God to give my life to him as a priest – not a mediocre one, but a great saint. May God grant me the grace to live up to this calling.
