Prior to entering the seminary
Living and working at Assumption Abbey, a Cistercian or "Trappist" Monastery in Ava, MO, which is in Southwestern Missouri.

Enjoy most about the seminary
I enjoy the communal life here at the Seminary as there are men from all over the world and the Liturgies are very moving.While I am here, I hope to learn more about the sacramental life of the church and I have always wanted to learn some Latin!

Reson for entering the seminary
I entered the Seminary for many reasons, after much soul searching and spiritual direction, but primarily because I have come to believe it is God's will for me. I hope to live a life that models Gospel Values and in service to others.
