Royalmont Academy Alumnus Embraces His Calling

Royalmont Academy is thrilled to celebrate the vocational journey of alumnus Matthew Conner, who has recently made his temporary commitment with the Companions of the Cross. Matthew’s discernment and deep faith have led him to this vibrant community, where he continues to seek God’s will in his life.

Matthew first heard the call to priesthood during his college years. His journey has been marked by moments of grace, including profound encounters with the Holy Spirit, which solidified his desire to serve Christ and His Church. Matthew’s discernment led him to the Companions of the Cross, a community known for its emphasis on evangelization and renewal, which resonates deeply with his desire to live boldly for the Gospel.

The formation process for the Companions of the Cross is both spiritual and pastoral, designed to equip men with the tools they need to proclaim Christ’s message to the world. For Matthew, this community has offered a place of deep connection and spiritual growth, where he can continue to develop his calling.

As a student at Royalmont Academy, Matthew embodied the values of leadership, service, and faith that are central to our mission. His journey now serves as an inspiring example of how our alumni are making a real impact in the world, not just through their professional achievements, but through their spiritual commitments as well.

Matthew’s temporary commitment represents a significant milestone in his discernment, one that we celebrate as a community. It’s a beautiful reflection of Royalmont Academy’s mission to form Christian leaders who live out their faith in powerful and transformative ways.

We invite our Royalmont family to join us in praying for Matthew as he continues on this path, asking for God’s grace and guidance as he discerns his call to the priesthood. (Click Here To Learn More)
