Real Lives >> Christopher Argano
“From the time I was a child I believed that Christ was calling me to be a priest.
The attraction and intensity of the vocation to priesthood became stronger as I entered high school and I decided
that I would go to college and then see if I should indeed pursue the call.
After graduating from Siena College in May, 2004 I entered the seminary and now, three years later, look forward to my ordination,
God willing, in 2009. I am grateful and humbled by the opportunity to one day serve the Lord Jesus as His priest.”

| What is drawing you to the priesthood?: | I look
forward to the opportunity to bring Jesus Christ
to the world. I want to help people who are

sin. In short, I want people to know Jesus and
experience the peace, joy and fulfillment that
only he can bring. |
