How and why did you decide to become a priest? Was there one defining moment or a series of events?
For me, it was a series of events. I was deeply influenced by my two uncles who are priests. One was a parish priest, the other was a missionary in China. |
Both served as priests for 60 years. When I was growing up, they were my heroes and captured by imagination.
