In the rest of our conversation with Fr. Fadi, we hear about another wild story of riding a camel to Petra before he shares his own vocation story and the profound impact St. Philip Neri had on him.

Today we are pleased to welcome in Fr. Fadi Auro, a priest who might also be the most interesting man in the world. He talks about his current ministry serving at a Chaldean Rite seminary in California and shares the story of an adventure at the hands of St. Therese.

Fr. John Jirak joins us today to talk about growing up on a pig farm and throwing javelin in college. Then, he shares his vocation story, including being inspired by a young Bernie Gorges, the closing of his hometown parish, and being dumped by his fiancee.

Today we welcome in Fr. Nicholas Samsel to discuss his first year as a priest as well as his brief stint as a collegiate triathlete. He also shares his vocation story about how the Lord in His patience and goodness "out-stubborned" him until he took the leap into seminary where he recognized the fullness of life offered to him in the priesthood.

Tune in to hear some stories of our misadventures with traffic tickets or car accidents as well as some commentary on a recently published report of the findings from a national survey on practice and understanding of the Sacrament of Confession.

Today we are joined by Fr. Ben Nguyen to discuss Our Lady of La Vang, why his last name is so common, and the drink named after him at a restaurant in Coffeyville. Then he shares his vocation story, including how he and his family were "randomly" placed in Wichita after leaving Vietnam and how a spring break trip with friends led to his calling.

Today Fr. Grant Huslig joins us to discuss his growing painting skills, his imaginary butler named Reginald, and then shares his vocation story, including how The Bachelorette and Snapchat combined forces to lead him to the seminary.

Today we are lucky to have Fr. Roger Lumbre with us to share about growing up in the Philippines, how God used his initial attraction to adventure (and plenty of food) to lead him to the priesthood, and how he eventually came to the United States to serve as a priest, including time in chaplaincy in both hospitals and the military.

Today we begin by recapping each of our spring break activities. Then we talk a bit about the necessity and benefit of interacting with women as peers, authority figures, those we serve, and friends during seminary formation.
