Father Emanuel Lucero

My life before the seminary:
The faith that I have received comes from my parents. They always reminded me and my seven siblings that they received this faith as a gift from the Church through the announcement of the kerygma in the itinerary of Christian formation founded on the tripod “Word of God-Liturgy-Community”, through the Neo-catechumenal Way which I continue to this day. I experienced that God is a Father, that He provides, and never abandones me.

What convinced me to enter the seminary:
Conversations with Father Rubén Rueda and the local catechists from the Neocatechumenal Way was the beginning of priesthood discernment. I attended the vocational center carried out by a priest formed in the Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary and the itinerant catechist of Argentina, from Spain. They helped me to discern more deeply about my vocation. I stood up for the priesthood during the annual convivence (retreat) with my community in Argentina. Then, I was sent to the Archdiocesan Missionary Seminary Redemptoris Mater of Washington.
