Our Life is a moment to moment ‘yes’ to the invitation of a loving GOD. Here in St. Brendan´s community, forever grateful of being welcomed and accepted by friendly and wonderful people creating a ‘ripple’ in my heart as I go and make myself present to the different small Faith Groups and do my other Ministries with a ‘smile’.  My hope is -  even in my own simple and joyful way, I too, can create a ‘ripple’ in people´s hearts and together can make a difference in people´s lives.

Seminarian

Seminarian Hyeong-Joon Choi (known as Br. Andrew at St. Brendan) is in his Pastoral Year as a seminarian, originally working for the Diocese of Suwon, South Korea. After his conversion to Catholicism in his early childhood, he felt a strong sense of vocation to the priesthood, where he would find his reason for existence in this world. He entered Suwon Catholic University in 2016 for his seminary formation and spent 6 years, including his two years of military service. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Theology in early 2022, he commenced his journey in the United States with his Bishop’s order to join St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, California, to pursue his Master’s degree in Theology. 

Br. Andrew enjoys his daily greeting of the students and families.  Be sure to "fist bump" to start  your day!
Without any guile, his smile proves his happiness when he says, quoting his pastor, “How cool is that!” ​
