Meet a Seminarian

Bob Rooney is a "senior" seminarian. Like many other priests-in-the-making whose vocation story involves a response to God's call a bit later in life than post-high school or college, Bob was an attorney for 30 years prior to his entry into seminary. Look inside for Bob's vocation story, and his perspectives about seminary life and transitional diaconate ordination, which he anticipates in May 2025.
I was able to catch up with Andrew Buyle and Zach McGuinness over a cup of coffee recently and came away grateful once again for the opportunity to learn more about the men in the midst of discerning God's call to the priesthood. While we chatted together, I found myself drawn into their reflections, their honesty, and their individual docility to God's call in their lives. Be inspired by the vocation stories of these two men.
Seminarian, Alex Rickert, shares the incredible story of his family's conversion to the Catholic faith and his subsequent discovery of a vocational call to the priesthood.
