Most Memorable Prayer/Liturgy you have Attended: I went to some Steubenville conferences in high school that were majorly impactful on my faith, and made me see adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in a whole new way.
Place of Pilgrimage you Most Want to Visit and why: I’d love to see the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe in person, or Lourdes.
Favorite Way to Pray: I’ve more recently really gotten into the Rosary, otherwise for the past few years I was really into worship music and speaking with God that way.
What drew you to Holy Cross? The connection with our Blessed Mother was very important, I’ve grown a deeper devotion for her recently and wanted to help serve her in some way. And when meeting the other men in formation, it felt like I’d known them forever, and I wanted to walk with them to grow deeper in faith.
