Mr. Dale Wright, 47: Born in Belleville, Ontario and was raised by a devout Catholic family. Despite this, I went through a period of my life when I was “ the Church but not it.” However, in my early thirties I experienced a reconversion to the Church and for the first time in my life I asked God what I was to be doing with my life. The answer that was placed in my heart was that I was called to be a priest.
