Join us and listen to Deacon and Seminarian Jeremy Smith, who recently landed at OLPH Parish after being displaced from his on-campus studies at the Seminary due to the Coronavirus.

This interview is the first in a series of Unpacking episodes where we talk with religious and laypeople about their vocations and how they eventually identified their call and answered it.

Deac. Jeremy was incredibly honest and generous in our conversation as he related what it was like to be an unlikely (and unholy -- his words, not mine), Seminarian later in life.  We talked about the power of a good confession and a Mom's words as well as the Priest that made all this difference in Jeremy's call to the Priesthood. He offers insight into our challenging times, which is the Coronavirus pandemic too.

Listeners take note, due to Social Distancing, our interview with Deac. Jeremy was recorded remotely.
