Second Year College

Holy Trinity Seminary

Birthday: October 3

Home Parish: St. Mary Help of Christians, Aiken

Will was raised in a strong Catholic family, and is the oldest of five children. He first felt a “tugging” in his heart toward the priesthood early in his life, and was influenced by a prayer to be generous to God and his will. A call to the priesthood emerged and was strengthened in high school. Will began his search for God’s desire in his life. After taking a pilgrimage as an upperclassman, Will became more open to the priesthood. With his academic success and skills as a soccer player, Will had many options for college. After active discernment, he decided to apply to college seminary and test his call. Will is attracted to the priesthood and the love of God that it reflects in our world. He wants to give everything to the Lord, and spread his kingdom.
