I worked in the hospitality industry for approximately 10 years before entering a life with the Capuchin Franciscans in 2008.  I took my Perpetual Vows in 2014 and have had various pastoral experiences including sacristan duties, working with the homeless shelter, and visiting with the aged and the ill in the Home operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor. 

The call from God has been repeated through time, and it was this past spring that I was given the acceptance to move forward.  I was granted permission to apply to Pope St. John XXIII because of my later vocation to the Priesthood and to be with my peers in formation.
