Dear Friends and Benefactors,

As I continue to my second year of priestly formation with the Society of Saint Pius X, I would be grateful for your prayers and financial assistance. I am being sent to Holy Cross Priory in Goulburn, Australia, to begin introductory seminary studies. As I prepare to travel 10,000 miles from home, I have many upcoming expenses. These include expenses associated with the passport and visa application processes, in addition to the cost of travel and health insurance. To that end, I have been given permission to request the assistance of benefactors. I am grateful for any material support and prayers that you charitably extend to me. Be assured of my prayers for you.

A brief autobiography on yours truly:

Born and raised in southeastern North Carolina, 19 years of age. A convert to the Catholic Faith (straight to Tradition w/ SSPX). Graduated Early College "with the highest distinction" and attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (2020-22). I chose as my Confirmation Saint the great missionary, St. Peter Claver 'Slave of Slaves’, as I hope to imitate his selfless sacerdotal and missionary zeal. I was a pre-seminarian at Saint Thomas Becket Priory in Veneta, Oregon, USA (2022-23). During my time in Veneta, I mentored/tutored students in the Academy, and made/restored vestments for the priory church and the missions in Oregon and Washington.

“We ask the Most Blessed Mary to guard the Catholic priesthood and to grant that it may continue. We shall ask that numerous graces of vocations and of attachment to the Church be given to those young men who desire to become priests”. +Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the SSPX

Yours In Christ,
