Deacon Juan Pablo Noboa

My life before the seminary:

I entered the seminary right after finishing high school. I wanted to study Politics and Economics in order to help the most vulnerable in society. God had a better plan.

What convinced me to enter the seminary:

When I was 10, I saw in an 80-year-old Combonian missionary priest a joy I have never seen before. God had allowed me to see that the true happiness came only from an encounter with Jesus Christ. I felt that God was calling me to participate of this joy that the world was not offering me.
