Vocation Story: I have always wanted to be a priest, but I got sidetracked teaching handicapped children in a public junior high school in Harlem for twenty five years. About a year ago I spoke to a priest and wound up in spiritual direction to discern if I had a possible vocation. Since then so many things have fitted into place with the help of my spiritual director, Father Walsh and Sister Rosemary that I look forward to starting on the formation path to the priesthood relying on the prayers of many people and the grace of God.
