Faith Journey: I grew up Catholic. I was an altar server in my parish, which first nurtured my love for the sacred liturgy and encountering the Lord through the Eucharist. When I came to Franciscan University as a student, I deepened my faith, served on the university's liturgy committee, and got to know the Franciscan Third Order Regular, inspired by the charism of on-going conversion. I entered the T.O.R.s in 2006 and was ordained in 2013. Since my ordination, I have served at Franciscan University, formation ministry in Washington, D.C., and obtained a doctorate in liturgical theology. It is a blessing to return to Franciscan University to the serve the university.
