My life before the seminary:

I grew up in Poland as the third of four brothers and two sisters in a very Catholic family. I served as an altar server at my home parish since I was nine years old. My parents have been involved in the parish choir since I can remember. They also would offer themselves to read during the Mass or help out with any parish event there was. I have discerned to enter the seminary during my last year of high school so I did it right after the graduation.

What convinced me to enter the seminary:

The conviction to enter the seminary came about with the help of the Christian formation I have been receiving in the Neocatechumenal Way as well as through the example of Fr. Andrzej, who have been my spiritual director, so to speak, since I was 13.

Other interests include:

I like to read spiritual, theological and psychological books. Also, I like to watch good movies and share good food with others, especially with my family and friends when possible. At the same time, I like to spend time outdoors daily while playing sports or just walking.
