Vocation Story: My name is Joseph Piccini, born and raised in Mobile, and a proud parishioner of St. Dominic Parish. I graduated from McGill-Toolen CHS in 2020. I was called to seminary early freshman year at UAB. Every night there would be this nagging feeling or repetitive knock asking me to check out seminary. At the beginning, I thought it to be of no importance. As time went on, the knocking and the nagging continued, so I knew it was real. In the fall of 2022 I was accepted as a seminarian. I am so thankful that I responded with a “yes” to the Lord. I have been able to meet some of my closest friends, visit incredible places, and seen my faith grow to depths I thought impossible. I am entering my fourth year of seminary but starting a new journey at St. Meinrad Seminary after graduating from St. Joseph’s this past May. Thank you for your prayers, and the sacrifices you make for us seminarians. Your support means so much to us and without it we could not be the priests God has called us to become. Know I’ll be praying for you! God Bless.
