His story is all over the Internet!

Grant Desme leaves baseball for seminary

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, please pray for Grant Desme as he pursues his priestly vocation. Beg Our Lord to give him the strength and courage he needs to listen to His call, whatever it may be. Pray that Grant Desme will use his God-given gifts for the glory of God. Amen.

I will definately pray for this inpiring young man!

Chemai posted with another young fellow last year on Spiritual Motherhood for Priests, An Inspiring Witness to Vocations ~ it was a young man leaving a soccer career. They are courageous and like all seminarians, need alot of prayer support.

I'll pass this link you have shared Nancy onto Chemai as well, I am sure she would like to ask for prayers over SPforP as well.

You know what's really cool about that article -- it's from ESPN/Associated Press and yet it really seems to get what he's doing!

Prayers for this young man and that God's will be done!
