Kevin Tran
Kevin was born and raised in Charlotte, his home parish being St. John Neumann. Both of his parents are from Vietnam, and he has one younger brother. Although he first felt the call to priesthood in high school, he wanted the “college experience” before he applied for seminary. It was actually because of college Bible studies however, that he developed a love for the Scriptures. He enjoys working with young people after the spirit of his Confirmation saint, St. John Bosco. He likes visiting his friends, reading, playing soccer, kayaking, cooking, and sharing his love for Jesus with others. He is excited to be here at St. Therese and looks forward to meeting and working with everyone.


 

Chinonso Nnebe-Agumadu
Hello St. Therese family, my name is Chinonso Nnebe-Agumadu. I am a third year seminarian for the diocese of Charlotte and I am a parishioner of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Charlotte. I am one of six children in my family and I am a twin. I was born in Washington, D.C. but I grew up in Nigeria. Some of my hobbies include playing soccer, reading, cooking, and baking.

I believe that I first thought about the priesthood in my fourth grade year, not too long after my first holy communion. I was always fascinated by what the priest was doing at Mass although I did not know what any of his actions meant. One time, someone said to me “you know priests do not get married, right?” and I responded “Oh well, I guess I am fine with that!” It was however not until the summer of my senior year of high school that I realized that I should take the call a little more seriously. And eventually in my junior year of college, I reached out to the vocational director and then attended Quo Vadis Days. And here I am now.
