Friends of Kellenberg,
After much prayer and discernment I have decided that I will be leaving the Marianist Community.  Although I love the mission and work of the Marianists, I have concluded that the life in whole is not for me.  I will no longer be teaching at Kellenberg which saddens me, but I know this is what I have to do at this point of my life.  The past two months of teaching have been a great joy and something I will truly miss. 
I feel that God is calling me to the priesthood.  I will start at Douglaston Seminary in the near future.  Although the vocation of a brother appeals to me, priesthood appeals to me more deeply.  
I would like to say once more, thank you for everything.  I consider myself truly blest and for having the Marianists and Kellenberg in my life.  Pray for me and I will pray for you. 
                                                All the best,
                                                                 Michael Joseph Plona
