This is an excerpt from the full interview on The Life of a Priest, a podcast available in the Tabella Catholic App.

Father Manny Alvarez shares the story of his childhood environment which fostered his vocation.

It was an atmosphere that led to a conduciveness of holiness of life, an environment where you really didn’t question your faith because it was part of who you are. It created this space where it was very easy to say yes to the Lord.
