Joyful, hard-working, disciplined.
St. Michael the Archangel because I was baptized on St. Michael’s feast day in St. Michael’s Church. Spiritually, St. Michael is the saint who accompanies me in my daily struggles.
The Society of Jesus has offered me a space for human and spiritual growth that cannot be found anywhere else. For example, everyone is called by their first name in the community. No one has a title.
From the beginning of my discernment process, Fr. Godefroy Midy, SJ, has been my mentor. He was the first priest who agreed to listen to me and accept me as I am and who ultimately accompanied me on my journey toward religious life. I am a Jesuit today thanks to his loving guidance.
From the moment I entered the Society, I stopped seeing priests and religious as privileged members of society. On the contrary, I see them as servants of Christ’s mission. That is why we find them in all places where there is a need: in schools, parishes, universities and hospitals, bringing spiritual nourishment. In fact, they embody the Gospel amid the reality of the people they are called to evangelize.
