His story:
I am thankful to the Blessed Virgin Mary for helping me to choose my vocation. On the bus ride to my high school in Poland, I prayed the Rosary many times asking the Mother of God to help me discern my vocation whether to be married or to become a priest, and to make one unchangeable choice for my whole life. After a long wait the answer came from above. After reading the one-page information about the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, I was immediately convinced that I had to join this community, even though I had never met a Marian before. I've never regretted that decision.
