Seminarian Thau
“I was born in Vietnam and moved to the U.S. four years ago. From a young age, I was drawn to the priesthood through the example of seminarians and religious brothers and sisters who inspired me. After earning an associate degree, I joined the MSA community in Vietnam, where I completed studies in philosophy and one year of theology before arriving in the U.S. in January 2022. I earned a degree in philosophy from Holy Apostles College and Seminary. As I discerned a new path, I applied to the Archdiocese of Atlanta and was accepted as a seminarian. I am now studying at Notre Dame Seminary, where I feel truly blessed.”
Deacon Chrystian
“I was born in Ft. Stewart, GA, to Polish parents. I grew up in Gainesville, GA, attending Prince of Peace. After graduating from the University of North Georgia, I became a seminarian and have been studying at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach for the past six years. I was ordained a deacon on May 23 of this year. In my free time, I enjoy camping, computers, and NASCAR.”
