The third year placement in a parish gives each student an opportunity to explore their vocation to the priesthood in a more practical way, away from the studies and structure of the seminary. My time in Holy Rood, Watford, has so far confirmed my feeling, which began as a young altar server in my local parish, that I may have a vocation to the priesthood. I am also grateful for the time I spent working before entering the seminary in 2005, giving me time to gain valuable experiences, and to discern God’s will for me. I ask for your prayers as I continue on my journey.
