Enjoy most about the seminary
I thoroughly enjoy my class. They are so nice and kind to me. I am most excited to learn about my call, and if this is what God really wants for me.

Reason for entering the seminary
My decision to come to the seminary was influenced by my parish, family, and my friends. They asked if I had ever thought about going to the seminary. I really started to think about my call in life. I was also told that I have talents that the priesthood could use, like my people skills. I made an effort in prayer to ask for the path that I am supposed to follow and the answer I received was to come to the seminary.
