Notre Dame Seminary Second Theology St. Aloysius, Baton Rouge
“I graduated from a wonderful liberal arts school, Thomas More College in New Hampshire. A semester in Rome awakened my love for the beauty and splendor of the Catholic Church. There, a priest suggested I consider the priesthood, but I pushed it aside out of fear and an inability to be still and hear God’s voice. Life happened: law school at LSU; a brief marriage and a beautiful daughter; divorce; annulment; and 20 years practicing law. But all throughout the Good Lord was persistent and patient. I quit my job as a lawyer and entered the seminary in the fall of 2020. As I begin my priestly formation, I have an overwhelming sense of peace and liberation. Jesus, I trust in You.”
