St. Michael, for always keeping watch and sending angels down to make sure I kept myself out of trouble.<\/p><h3>Favorite Marian Apparition(s)<\/h3><p>Our Lady of Lourdes. Though I have never been to France. I would visit the site and pray. She encouraged people to begin praying and return to God. Something that I started doing after finding out about her. A spring with healing waters would be a nice plus as well. My favorite devotion is the Rosary. I\u2019m attempting to learn the prayers in spanish.<\/p><h3>Favorite Book or Movie<\/h3><p>The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz. WWII biography about a group of Polish Officers who once they were freed by the Russians, turned around and were accused of being Nazi conspirators. The story is about this one officer and a few others escaping Siberia and making it back to freedom.<\/p><h3>Favorite Hobby<\/h3><p>Swimming or reading a good book. Sci-Fi\/Fantasy or Fiction Novels.<\/p><h3>Background<\/h3><p><strong>What are some of the factors that led to your decision to enter the seminary and discern the question of a vocation to the priesthood?<\/strong><\/p><p>I\u2019ve always had a gentle push from God, I would probably say he gave me a jolt one day where everything he had been saying came to clarity. Breaking down I finally agreed to do what he wanted me to do. The path has never been so clear.<\/p><p><strong>Who are some of the people who influenced your decision to enter the seminary? What is it about them that assisted you?<\/strong><\/p><p>My mother\u2019s willingness to approve of my decision weighed heavily. Finding out that she had once discerned to be a nun, I found it easier to tell her as she would know what I was going through. Having the approval of my friends and family only made the decision a bit easier.<\/p><p><strong>Describe the moment that you knew you wanted to take the next steps to become a priest?<\/strong><\/p><p>Watching my father hurt, and knowing his time here was on a clock, I wish I had made the decision and told him before his passing. My eyes were opened beforehand, but I never mentioned it to him. I know he\u2019d be proud of me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":178752,"template":"","ocvocations_category":[1063],"coauthors":[4523],"class_list":["post-178745","ocvocations","type-ocvocations","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ocvocations_category-our-seminarians","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Elvis Ankeney - nombre del RCBO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Elvis Ankeney - nombre del RCBO\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Formation StagePropaedeutic YearHome ParishSt. Irenaeus, CypressSeminarySt. John\u2019s SeminaryFavorite Saint(s)St. Judas Thaddeus, as a thank you for interceding during my birth.
