My name is Tom Orlando and I am a seminarian for your Stockton Diocese. Over the next few months I will be stationed here at St. Anne's where I will be doing my pastoral internship. I was born in Modesto and grew up in the Farmington area. I went to Valley Home School then Linden High School. From there I went to UC Davis and graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. I worked for five years with Teichert Construction then two years with Knife River Construction. It was about that time when I felt the Lord calling me down a different path. Over the last four years I have been pursuing that call and studying for the priesthood. I am currently in my 2nd year of Theology at Mundelein Seminary in Illinois. I am looking forward to my time at St. Anne's and look forward to meeting all of you. You will all be in my prayers.
