My name is Collin Gallimore, a 22-year-old cradle Catholic from Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. I come from a close-knit family of four. The call to the priesthood has been on my heart for as long as I can remember. During my sophomore year of college, I felt the Lord asking me to take this call seriously. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in Spring 2023 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish.

At the 2023 SEEK conference, I felt drawn to the Companions of the Cross for their charismatic spirituality, strong communal life, and openness to the Holy Spirit. My experiences with them resonated deeply with my own vision for renewing the Church, particularly in reaching out to youth, the poor, and alienated Catholics. As I continue to discern, I trust that the Lord is guiding me one step at a time.
