Joseph Gonzalez

First Theology
Pope Saint John XXIII National Seminary
Home Parish: Our Lady of Sorrows, Takoma Park

I was baptized at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart. I served in the United States Marine Corps.

My life before the seminary:

When I was not at work at my day job, I served the youth in a youth ministry of the Charismatic Renewal called “Tira La Red” (Cast the Net).

What convinced me to enter the seminary:

I enjoyed serving others, but a priest friend of mine said to me, “You can help so much more as a priest!”

Other interests include:

Searching for the best steak n cheese, fishing, hiking, and traveling to faraway places, meet interesting people, and pray for them.
