5th year of Formation: Theology I

 

This summer, seminarian David Witkowski was blessed with the opportunity to spend time in Rome, where he experienced the beauty of the universal Church in a profound way by visiting many of the city's historic basilicas and churches, praying at the tombs of the saints and walking through places that have shaped the faith for centuries. These experiences strengthened his gratitude for God's call and deepened his desire to serve his people as a priest. Over the next four years, David will continue his formation in Rome at the Angelicum.
