Meet Daniel Sanchez
As a young boy, I always served Mass. My family had moved across the street from our parish, St. Patrick’s in La Salle, and we had moved into the old convent that the Daughters of Charity had lived in. Down the block, the other way, was Queen of the Holy Rosary, and few blocks the other way was Resurrection Parish. Across the street was the grade school I went to, Trinity Catholic Academy.
I was blessed to have always had all of that around me. The Catholic identity was all around me, so I was not afraid to be Catholic. I had always been blessed to have gone to Catholic schools, Trinity Catholic Academy, St. Bede Academy, and now the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary at St. Mary’s University.
There was a time back in high school when I was a low point in my faith. One of the monks asked me to go to TEC and the rest was history. At that time, I thought I was the only one that loved my faith and was becoming afraid to embrace it.
Once I got to TEC, I realized how many young people loved being Catholic, and it was then that I was encouraged and eager to embrace the fullness of the Catholic faith. I really enjoyed my time at TEC and am grateful to the people for re-igniting my faith and most importantly, reestablishing my trust in the Lord, which through discernment brought me to the seminary.
