I became a professional actor seeking to explore the infinite possibilities of expression of the human spirit. But soon I realised that if expression was not to become meaningless self-indulgence it needed to be at the service of a meaningful message. Upon encountering Christ as the living gospel and the incarnation of a love stronger than death which is offered to all people, I realised that God was calling me to discern if I had a priestly vocation. It is a great grace to be called to devote one's life to the proclamation of the gospel. I am very happy and thankful for this invitation and hope to be able to respond accordingly with the grace of God.
