Avanti
If someone would have told me twelve years ago
that I would still be serving our diocese as Director of Vocations, I would have thought they were crazy! Yet for
over a decade now, I have worked almost exclusively in
this wonderful ministry of vocation promotion, discernment, and formation. It is a ministry that requires a lot and
I have done my best to give my all to it, yet, like so many
things in the Church, it has given to me far more than I
have given to it. As many you are no doubt aware by now,
I will be leaving the Office of Vocations at the end of the
calendar year. Bishop Lynch felt that now is the time to
begin the transition for someone else to take over this work
of helping to provide priests and religious for and from our
local church. I am very pleased that Fr. John Blum, the pastor of St. John Vianney on St. Pete Beach and Fr. Carl Melchior, the parochial vicar of St. Catherine of Siena, will be
taking over the focused work of vocations ministry in our
diocese. Both are excellent priests and I am sure that they
will bring their own special and unique gifts to bear.
Please pray for them as they begin to take on this responsibility in our diocese. Between now and the end of the year,
I will be working with them so as to make as smooth a
transition as possible. As I have said many times before, I
believe that our seminaries do a great job in preparing men
for the diocesan priesthood and parish life, yet at the same
time do not prepare one at all for vocations ministry. Fortunately there are great organizations like the National
Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors (NCDVD) that
offer training, support, and guidance in vocations work. It
has been a great grace to serve in NCDVD as well.
As I prepare to leave vocations work as a singular
focus, I cannot but have some mixed feelings. I am certainly ready and excited to go back to parish life. I look
forward to whatever assignment the bishop gives me in
that regard. On the other hand, I will certainly miss working with our seminarians who are men of extraordinary
character and potential. The future of the Diocese of St.
Petersburg is in good hands indeed! I look forward to not
having to rack up so many miles on my car and just being
able to attend to the varied needs of God’s people in a particular parish instead of worrying about who might be considering the priesthood in every parish. On the other hand,
I will certainly miss the interaction with those who are considering a call to priestly service and the marvelous privilege it is to walk with them for some part of the journey.
There are so many blessings that I cannot even begin to
count and I am grateful to everyone with whom I have had
the privilege to work and collaborate over the past dozen
years.
Many people have said some very kind things to
me since the announcement of the change coming to the
Vocations Office and I am most grateful for those sentiments, but vocations work is much more than just about
one person. It is God who calls. It is Christ that works
August 2010
within the individual. It is the Holy Spirit that enables and
ennobles the individual to respond. Yes, the Lord does
indeed use imperfect instruments like me in particular moments and circumstances, but that is merely the priesthood
of Jesus Christ shining through rather than the gifts, or for
that matter limitations, of a single person. This past year
dedicated to priests has been a year of great grace for the
Church, especially for priests. I thank the Lord for the
beautiful gift of His priesthood and will do my best to
bring his message of hope, forgiveness, and love to all
those I encounter in whatever future assignments await
me. Praised be Jesus Christ now and forever!
Congratulations Fr. John Blum and Fr. Carl Melchior!

Seminarian Perspectives
Elbert Ballado, St. John Vianney College Seminary
The Discernment Journey
Jason Priela, St. John Vianney College Seminary
The Struggle to Persevere
It has been more than a year since I wrote a reflection
for the Cast Your Net journal, previously called the Called to
Serve. Regardless, I am writing this in the middle of the lazy
summer months. I would like to pause for a moment and reflect
on what this past year of formation has been for me.
First off, what a year it was. It was so busy and hectic
particularly the fall semester. The seminary celebrated its
Golden Anniversary which was an experience of grace for me
because to see the alumni get together who were not necessarily
priests but are very happy with whatever calling they are in life
shows you how God works in mysterious ways – that we are
not in control; He is the one calling. It is important I think that
people should understand that anyone who goes to the seminary is not necessarily going to be a priest. There are many reasons why one would enter a seminary. Some have good and
honest reasons that truly center on God but others are not so
due to weakness, fear etc. To be frank with you, as of this writing, I have my doubts to continue in this journey but that is not
to say I am leaving or anything. Every seminarian experiences
this and it is normal. It is amazing to reflect on this now because
this past year I received tremendous graces that affirmed my
vocation. In particular, the one grace that really stands out for
me from my third year of formation was my greater love for
this life of the priest: the life of sacrifice and pain; of joy, hope
and healing all in one package. Despite all the recent scandals
that have brought the Church to public embarrassment even to
the point where our beloved Pope Benedict XVI called the sex
scandals the Church’s “greatest persecution,” I received this
grace from the Lord. I can only be grateful to God for this because our priests need all the help they can get for they are not
dealing with ordinary things here but the most sacred and divine. They are called for the salvation of souls against the powers of Hell and what a daunting task that is! As I was saying,
doubts do come and I like to compare this stage of confusion to
Jesus’ own experience of trial in the desert. Even the Son of God
and Lord of lords was not spared. How trivial, though, it is for
me to compare my own trials with his. And this should bring
me consolation because God understands what you and I may
be going through.
As I conclude, the Lord is indeed in control and we are
not. All we have to do is trust in his words and all will take care
of itself: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am
meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your
selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
Elbert Ballado was born in San Juan, Philippines. He is the eldest
child of Armando and Elisa Ballado. He has two younger brothers.
His family lived in Saudi Arabia for six years where he secretly
received his first Holy Communion and his Confirmation because of
the lack of religious freedom. In 2002, Elbert's family moved to the
United States to Temple Terrace. They have lived in Riverview since
late 2004. His home parish is St. Stephen. He graduated from King
High School and spent one year at USF as an Electrical Engineering major. He enjoys reading, playing violin and chess, sports,
drawing and target shooting. What attracted him to the priesthood is its sacrificial
and life-giving nurture through the sacraments, especially the mass, and the priest's
special bond or marriage to Christ through the Church. Elbert begins his Senior
year at St. John Vianney College Seminary in August.

It all begins with a choice...
In every road one almost inevitably faces many turns.
One encounters many challenges and so one never ceases to
make choices. But no one person on a journey ever makes it
alone. The success and outcome of one’s journey lies in his
openness to accept the challenges and in his belief and trust to
those who are with him in the journey.
When I joined the U.S. Air Force in 2001 I was very certain that that is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My
life was pretty much set, and I was almost very satisfied with
the military routine. But God had a different plan. I left the Air
Force in 2005 and began the process of discerning to enter seminary. Later in 2006 I decided to contact Fr. Len. I started the
application process in March of 2007 and entered seminary formation in August of the same year. One might ask what
prompted me to pursue such an outrageous if not radical
change in my life amidst the seeming “success” in my chosen
careers. My answer to this is—peace of mind and heart. In
those years of financial bliss and with the notion of freedom to
do whatever I want, I was searching to find peace. There were
many sleepless nights where I found myself tossing and turning, not understanding what seems to be causing such restlessness. Looking back in my years of formation I have been filled
with nothing but joy and peace in knowing that I have responded to “the call.” The situation is totally different from my
previous jobs… But there is peace.
[But] seminary life is not all “bed of roses,” it is full of
obstacles and challenges. Even after several years in formation
I will tell you that there are times when I feel like I cannot push
forward any longer. The journey can be very exhausting at
times. There are many “What Ifs.” But through the years I have
learned the importance of prayer in the struggle to persevere.
The struggle not over an unworthy cause, but the struggle to
realize what God has called me to do. And I believe that God
does not call me to do something that will cause me to be unhappy, rather He wants only what is best for me.
As I enter another stage in my journey to discerning
God’s call this coming school year, I am filled with gratitude to
be given the chance to experience the life of men who are open
and trusting to give their lives in service to our Lord. I ask myself, who am I to be loved as such, and to be invited to discern a
calling to the priesthood? What can I boast except of my brokenness and weakness? I can respond only by His grace that,
“Yes, Lord I will do what you ask of me...” It is hard for me to
see past through my mistakes and sins, but I believe God’s love
for me erases all and gives me the necessary strength to respond
faithfully to His call. The struggle to persevere lies in the choice
to believe and to surrender everything to Him who calls us.
Jason Priela was born in Zambales, Philippines. He grew up and
finished his elementary education in the small rural town of Castillejos, and then enrolled at St. Joseph’s High School in Olongapo
City. After high school he attended the Pontifical University of Santo
Tomas in Manila for one year, and then his family moved to the
United States in September 1996. He has one brother and two sisters.
His parents both worked in the U.S. Naval Station in Subic Bay prior
to emigrating to the U.S. Jason pursued a career in the pharmaceutical industry
and in 2001 he joined the U.S. Air Force in response to the events of 9/11. Jason
originally planned to stay in the service for 20 years, but things changed when in
2003 he experienced a deep spiritual poverty that led him to foster a deeper relationship with God and began to learn more about his faith and understand himself.
Through the guidance and spiritual direction of the Catholic chaplains he met while
in active duty, Jason entertained the idea that God may be calling him to the priesthood. Jason is entering his senior year in Philosophy.

On a Mission
Well time is flying by fast. Two years have already
gone by and it seems like I just started the application process.
Though my journey has had its challenges, especially this past
year, the joys and graces have far surpassed them. One of my
struggles was balance. I needed more balance and time management and focus on my studies. This is one of my goals for
the coming year to be (not to use the Army Cliche ) all I can
be and reach my full potential.
I am writing to you from Omaha, Nebraska. I am
working at the Institute for Priestly Formation or IPF. It has
kept me very busy but I see the fruits of my labor very visibly.
My daily responsibilities include buying breakfast for 200
seminarians who are theologians from all over the country.
The guys taking the program are here to radically
change their lives to that of Christ’s. This program allows for
further formation, especially that of the spiritual life as that is
its main focus. While I don’t get to sit in on any of their classes
due to my daily tasks, I still hear a little bit of what the guys
are learning. They have weekly conferences that I can go to,
which gives me a deeper insight to what they are receiving.
This has given me a taste that has left me hungering for more.
I plan, hopefully, to attend the program in the future.
Well, just as my journey has flown by, so has this
summer I have already been here seven weeks and I have
three more to go. Some days have been chaotic but others
have been slow and have given me a chance to explore the
area and experience the life of the Church in another part of
the country. This, at first, took me out of my comfort zone but
I quickly adapted. It is also amazing to hear all the different
accents and experience the different traditions of my fellow
seminarians and people of the “Heartland” of America. Also
there are many different priests, religious, and laity who come
to make up the faculty and spiritual directors.They too, come
from all around the country and the world. This has been a big
benefit to me as I am able to receive spiritual direction once a
week (not to mention the great homilies.)
The program is covered in a “dome of grace” as we
have many people praying for IPF’s mission and participants
year round. Experiencing the Church in other ways has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone, reminding me
that I can’t become to attached to the familiar, especially seminary (and home.) For seminary is not my goal or vocation, it is
merely a pit stop, so to speak on my journey and walk with
God. I look forward to starting another year in formation at St.
John Vianney, to dive deeper into philosophy, and fall more
in love with Christ.
Greetings from Texas! I’m here on vacation with the
family enjoying an amazing family reunion. It is not very often that I get to see all my aunts, uncles, and a majority of my
cousins from one side of the family since we are all so scattered around the United States. These reunions also bring a
comforting feeling including going to mass as part of the gathering which plays an important roll in unifying the many generations of family in faith.
Throughout my junior year I had been anticipating
what this summer would bring, always asking myself how am
I going to spend this summer? What always came to mind was
that I wanted to have a good pastoral experience. I wanted to
branch out a little, take a step out of my comfort zone and gain
a step up the ladder of my life. My home parish Nativity was
calling my name.
After coming home from seminary, starting on the
first day of summer, I went straight to work going to meetings
about my many assignments at Nativity. Things were gracefully happening so fast. Some of the assignments include my
involvement and presence with Life Teen, Life Force, Vacation
Bible School, and Religious Education. Also, as a part of this
summer I am part of an ongoing Life Teen Missionary Internship. This is a small group of young adults with the goal of
helping the parish out in many ways. Some of my responsibilities include leading a young adult bible study, being a summer core member for Life Teen, and helping to introduce Life
Teen and Life Force to those coming into high school and middle school. I also help around the church office. Most importantly we meet for prayer and meditation, go on prayer walks,
attend mass, and attend adoration.
One of my major highlights of this summer was Nativity’s Mission Trip in La Victoria, Dominican Republic. I’ve
been going on these summer trips for the past four years and
have gained so much perception of the needs of the poor from
those experiences. Through my eyes this trip was one of the
best. I saw it as a great benefit to us as a mission retreat and to
the Dominicans we met by sharing our love through giving,
and showing that there are others who care no matter the language barrier.
It’s amazing that as this summer rolls along I come
closer to my senior year. Time really does fly by fast. Through
the many joys and graces received in my journey through formation there has never been a regret about this path as I go
through it with an open mind and heart with the Holy Spirit
always at my side to guide me.
Karl Schmidt was born in San Angelo, Texas. He has two younger
sisters. Karl and his family moved to Brandon, Florida in 1994. His
home parish is Nativity. He graduated from Nativity Catholic School
in 2003 and Durant High School in 2007 as a member of the Durant
Honor Court. Karl has been involved in many church and community activities such as being an active Boy Scout up through the sixth
grade, helping with his parish’s Vacation Bible School, and also
being active in the Nativity Life Teen youth group. In his spare time he enjoys
playing the guitar, reading, listening to music, and hanging out with his friends
and family. His involvement with Life Teen and his help with the community
greatly influenced his calling to the priesthood. Karl is a senior at St. John Vianney College Seminary in Miami.
th
Jackson Reeves was born in St. Petersburg and is a 5 generation
Floridian. He has two brothers, Ryan, his older brother and recent
graduate of Ave Maria University and Mack, who is a senior at St.
Petersburg Catholic High School. His home parish is Most Holy
Name of Jesus in Gulfport. He was homeschooled most of his life.
He is an accomplished piano player. His passion is music and in
his spare time he likes to play sports and go to the movies. What
attracted him to the priesthood was being there at people’s most
critical points in their lives, especially through the sacraments. He is now a
Junior at St. John Vianney.
