In this episode of the Always a Raven podcast, host Janelle Menz sits down with Fr. Robert Williams, Class of 2015—a newly ordained priest whose journey from Raven soccer player to missionary to seminary in Rome reveals the beauty of God’s providence.

Fr. Williams shares how his time at Benedictine and years with St. Paul’s Outreach deepened his call to the priesthood, and how family legacy, prayer, and missionary work shaped his vocation. He reflects on the joy of spiritual fatherhood, the challenges of surrendering to God’s will, and the universal call to holiness for all Christians.

Listen in for an inspiring conversation about vocation, prayer, and what it means to live with joy in the presence of God.
