Vocation Story: My name is Luke Nicholas. I am from Mobile, and I grew up in St. Ignatius Parish. I graduated from McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in 2017. Upon graduation, I went to the University of Alabama, where I received a bachelor's and master's degree in accounting. In Tuscaloosa, I became heavily involved with a Catholic organization called FOCUS, which was a huge help to me in my faith journey. I first began to consider the vocation of priesthood in my junior year. Slowly the call grew, and I eventually applied for seminary. I have completed my first three years of seminary and will begin my first year of theology this fall at St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology.
