Matthew Schiffelbein

Why I want to be a Priest: I am drawn to the idea of shepherding souls. I want to lead people to God, take on their burdens and bring them to Him. I'm beginning to feel that a "pastor of souls" is who I am, or at least am called to be. And, that is why I want to be a priest, to shepherd souls and lead them to God.
