What is your favorite quote? "For you made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you." St. Augustine
If you could talk to anyone in the course of our history (dead or alive) who would it be and why? It would be amazing to talk to Takashi Nagai about forgiveness and hope in the midst of extreme pain and suffering.
Why do you want to become a priest? I would love to be a part of people's journey towards happiness and fulfillment through Christ.

What is your favorite Bible verse? Thy eyes behold my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." Psalms 139:16
Did anyone (priest, religious sister, friend, etc.) make an impact on your decision to enter seminary? Many priests have shown me the joy of priesthood such as Fr. Christopher Stanish, Fr. Joseph Moriarty, Fr. Douglas Hunter, and Fr. Barry Fischer.
What is your favorite form of prayer? (Liturgy of the Hours, Holy Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Eucharistic Adoration, etc.) The St. Michael Chaplet is my favorite form of prayer.
What is your favorite title of the Blessed Mother and/or Jesus? My favorite title for Mary Virgin Most Merciful and my favorite title for Jesus is Prince of Peace.
Any advice for someone discerning the priesthood or religious life? Spiritual Direction and Adoration are both good places to be guided when one does not know where to go.
