Cardinal Dolan will ordain seminarians to the priesthood at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Saturday, May 24, at 9 a.m. One of the men being ordained is Brother Lawrence Joshua Johnson, who shared with us his journey to the priesthood.

We sat down with him for an interview at St. Joseph’s Seminary ahead of his ordination to talk about hearing God’s call and how he sees his mission as a priest for God’s people.
