| | Name: | Steven Roth | | Age: | 31 | | Home/Sponsoring Parish: | St. Andrew by the Bay | | Year in Seminary: | Pastoral Year / St. Margaret, Bel Air | | Seminary: | St. Mary's Seminary | | Degrees Held/Institution: | BA Philosophy & Theology; MS Community Counseling | | Previous Career: | Undergrad & Graduate Level Professor, Counselor | | Hobbies/Interests: | Running, weight lifting, traveling | | | | Reason for Applying: I was content in my previous career but not happy. In pursuit of finding fulfillment and purpose in life I heard God's calling inviting me to enter formation. Now I can say I am happy as I am using every talent and gift God has given me to help others in a very exciting way. What does the priesthood mean to you: Priesthood means a very special way that God invites some individuals to care for all people. This calling requires the individual person to give totally of himself. Yet in this total self giving I believe God fills His priests with unbelievable love and peace. It is an awesome blessing to not only receive this calling but to hear and respond to it as well. |
