It was a Crazy Time
Q: How would you encourage young men who feel called by God, but maybe are intimidated by the vast scope of priesthood and the things that are required of a priest?
There's nothing like being a pastor. Having a fatherly relationship with the parish is significant and meaningful, making it a rewarding experience.
Trusting the Lord Crazily
Q: Do you have any kind of advice for young men who are struggling or trying to discern from high school?
Get in contact with your vocations director early. He can help you discern if the priesthood is what God wants for you. Also, learn to trust the Lord, as He has your best interests at heart.
Behind Every Man...
Q: What advice do you have for young men considering discerning priesthood?
Vulnerability in prayer is key. Spending time with priests and seeing their humanity helps young men to understand and relate to the priesthood better.
