Growing up Southern Baptist in Orlando, Florida, the thought of becoming a Catholic Priest never crossed my mind. It was not until I was 23 years old that I entered the Church after many years of close contact with a devout Regnum Christi family and many personal encounters with Christ in the Eucharist. A year later, I heard His call to be a shepherd while at World Youth Day in Panama 2019. Today my only desire is to bring the love of Christ to everyone I encounter. September 4, 2021 is marked to be a very special day in my walk with Christ as I vow to live poor, chaste, and obedient with Him. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
After professing vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, Br. Hayden's formation will continue with the study of Humanities at Legion of Christ College in Cheshire, Connecticut.
