How “No!” became a “Yes” to vocational call
Fr. Tomasz said that he first started to hear a vocational call when he was a teen growing up in a small village in Poland. It surprised him. “I was…” and he pauses for the correct word in English, “not a quiet boy! Maybe not as well behaved as my brother and sister.” When he told his parents that he wanted to be a priest, an SCJ priest, they responded the same way he did when he first heard his call. “No, not you!” his parents said to him. He laughed again.
