Greetings from Philip Micele
Dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Mary’s,
At Fr. Dominic’s invitation, I’d like to share a little bit about myself with all of you. As many of you know, I am a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Newark, originally from Westfield, New Jersey, and will begin my first year of theology (and second year overall) this fall at Immaculate Conception Seminary. I hope, if it is God’s will, to be ordained a priest in four years.
Prior to entering the Seminary, I attended Westfield High School, and studied philosophy and theology at Boston College. As a younger person, I was not very religious and was never active much in my home parish, but I was blessed to have a number of friends and family members who were very devout Christians, and whose example always impressed and edified me.
