Meet Emmanuel Gutierrez
Let us welcome Emmanuel, a seminarian who is entering his 7th year of Priestly formation at St Patrick’s Seminary. He will be spending the year with us, as part of his pastoral year of study.
Following are information that Emmanuel shared with us.
1. When did you first think about becoming a priest?
I first thought about becoming a priest around the age of 16, shortly after receiving the
Sacrament of Confirmation.

2. Please share a bit of your background before entering the seminary.
I worked for nearly 11 years in the construction industry, doing both commercial and residential construction. I also served as a catechist in my home parish (St Charles).

3. What are some of your hobbies or things you enjoy doing during your free time? I enjoy using my free time to either read/study philosophy or lounge around and rest from my weekly study routine. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and
engaging in meaningful conversations. My hobbies include working on vehicles, lifting
weights, and playing the classical guitar.

4. What part of priestly life do you feel most drawn to?
It would have to be the ability to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or having the faculty of absolving people from their sins through the Sacrament of Penance.
