Vocation Story: Hi, my name is Greg Spafford. I am from St. Dominic Parish. I graduated from McGill-Toolen Catholic High School. When it came to college there was only one place I really wanted to go, Auburn University, and, thankfully, that became a reality. While at Auburn, I became very involved in the Catholic Student Organization, and I had started to consider applying to seminary, but I also felt the Lord calling me to finish my engineering degree. So, I joined seminary after graduation, and, having completed my first year, I am so thankful the Lord blessed me with this opportunity. I will begin my second year at St Meinrad Seminary where I will be studying philosophy. Please continue to pray that I and my brother seminarians will be open to God’s call and come to love Him more everyday. God bless!
