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.”
