Where did you receive your seminarian training?
“I received my seminary training and formation at St. Vincent de Paul regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. The Seminary was established to form men for the diocesan and religious priesthood for Catholic Church in North America, Central and South America and the Caribbean.”

What were you doing before seminary?
“Before seminary, I completed high school in Colombia. After a couple of years, I took a break and worked as the faith formation coordinator at a local parish.”

When did you first think about priesthood?
“Towards the end of high school, while attending the youth group.”

What pastoral learning experience made the greatest impact on you?
“During my spiritual program ministry in a hospital in St. Paul Minnesota, I had the opportunity to serve and accompany the patients and their families, while also learning to better serve those who come and work at the hospital. This was one of the best experiences because it allowed me to serve while learning.”

What excites you most about becoming a priest?

"Being able to accompany people at different stages in life, while serving as a bridge between people and God.”

As you head out on your summer adventures, don’t forget to pack your faith along with your sunscreen! Whether you’re in the mountains, at the beach, or exploring a new city, we’d love to see you and /or your family at Mass wherever your travels take you.

Snap a quick selfie at the church you visit—inside or out—and share it with us! We’ll be posting a display of our parish family attending Mass around the globe on social media. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected and to remind ourselves (and others!) that there’s no vacation from Mass.
