While living in New York City, I randomly felt a pull one day to enter St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I attended Mass and was captivated. From that day on, my curiosity about the Catholic Faith grew. I embarked on a gradual journey of exploration, learning as much as I could about the Faith. With each step forward, I felt my relationship with God grow deeper. I was falling in love with God for the first time in my life.

I was finally brought into the Church in 2023, and soon after, began to feel that God was calling me to something deeper. I wasn’t exactly unhappy with my life, but I wasn’t at peace either. I knew there had to be something more that God wanted me to do – a bigger way to offer myself to the Lord.

A priest mentor told me that I needed to stop chasing the wrong things, and from that moment on, something shifted. Suddenly, for the first time, I could see that the life I had been building for myself might not be the life I was truly made for.
