Ryan Carlson, St. Michael Church, Van Buren

Attends Saint Meinrad Seminary in St. Meinrad, Indiana

Ryan Carlson is in the configuration stage of his priestly formation. During this stage, a seminarian models his life on the self-donation of Jesus Christ, shepherd and servant, as he prepares more immediately for holy orders. This normally lasts four years. Ryan is the son of Douglas and Melanie Carlson of Mulberry. His birthday is Sept. 18. If you wish to offer your prayers, mail a birthday greeting or provide other support to Ryan or any of our seminarians, please contact the Vocations Office at (501) 664-0340.
