Meet our Summer Seminarian: David Nowicki!
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
My name is David Nowicki. I am a seminarian for the Diocese of La Crosse. I am currently attending Mundelein Seminary in Illinois and have just finished my first year of Pre-Theology. I have five more years of classes to go before, God willing, I am ordained a priest. I am from St. Anthony Parish in Athens, Wisconsin, a rural parish community just west of Wausau. The parish includes a Pre-K through eighth grade school, which I attended from first grade onward. Following St. Anthony, I attended Athens High School. Since I enjoyed math and science classes most, I decided to attend UW-Platteville for a degree in civil engineering.
