Josh Laws, a 24-year-old parishioner of St. Stephen in Bradshaw, said he has been thinking about becoming a priest since kindergarten and finally took the leap this year. He was accepted into the formation program and will begin his first year at St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Roland Park this fall. “When I told my parents, they both said, ‘It’s about time,” Laws said with a laugh. “They’ve been very supportive.”
The former altar boy grew up in a family that prayed together every night. His father is a deacon at St. Stephen. The seminarian said he was inspired by the priestly example of the Jesuits who taught him at Loyola Blakefield in Towson and Loyola College in Maryland, where he earned a degree in philosophy and theology.
“They had a huge influence on me,” said Laws, a former religion teacher at The John Carroll School in Bel Air. “The Jesuits were extremely committed guys, but joyful in their faith. They were the first ones to challenge me to think about faith as part of who I am.”
