Rajesh is from Tamil Nadu, India and is studying for the Archdiocese of New York. Rajesh was a missionary for several years, working with both school age and college students - not only in Christian schools and colleges but also with various religion and nonreligion students.

“I was asked by the missionaries to work with the young immigrants here in America. Through these services, Christ’s call to His priesthood was very clear to me. I received my call to consecrate my life to God through the exemplary life of my parents. Their faith and dedication strengthened the love for God in my life and the life of my sisters. My parents receive communion every day, engage in family prayer, and were often reading the Bible for us and telling the stories of the saints. These were the tools we received from our parents to taste the love of our God.”
