A Visit from Joshua Votruba

Joshua Votruba, our adopted seminarian, came to our homeroom to visit during his break from school.  He talked about his calling to the priesthood (which occurred in 8th grade) and his experience sharing this with his friends and family when he was in high school.  He is currently attending college in Texas and concurrently enrolled in the seminary.  We wish him the best and will continue to pray for him.
