MEET

Gerard Gayou

• Third Theology •

Seminary: North American College
Home Parish: Our Lady of Mercy, Potomac
Speaks Chinese and some Italian. Enjoys basketball, reading, hiking and writing.

I entered seminary even though I loved my job as a writer at the Wall Street Journal. “Life is good,” I thought, “but I think God is calling me to something even bigger.”
