MEET OUR SEMINARIAN
We have a seminarian, Fernando Ricaud Cavazos, who will be with our

born in Monterrey, Mexico to a loving
family of Christ centered life. He
studied at UT Austin with a major in
Computer Science. He had a spiritual
revival there at the Catholic Center.
While working after graduation,
through the intercession of our
Blessed Mother, the Holy Spirit
placed in his heart a desire to be a priest. He is in his second
year of Pre-theology, studying philosophy. His hobbies are
watching movies and playing piano. We are a “teaching parish”, so please welcome Fernando and help him to live out his
vocation joyfully as he continues his discernment and formation.
