Vocations

The idea of an itinerant preacher, traveling through the mountains on horseback to deliver the Good News of the Gospel, may seem like a cinematic ideal; but for Deacon Lenin Andres Suarez, it was the way he spent most of his seminary holidays in the Andes Mountains of Colombia.

Deacon Misulia’s family subculture fostered a strong sense of spirituality as well. He remembers attending daily Mass during summer vacation and sharing a holy hour with his parents and four brothers at the adoration chapel in his home parish of St. Peter the Apostle in Libertytown.

Deacon Franz Josef Basalo Belleza enjoys a leisurely stroll or jog during his downtime, but he says his journey to the priesthood has been “no walk in the park.”

Deacon Daniel Andrades looks forward to his ordination to the priesthood June 22 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Homeland as a gift that will be reciprocated.
