ESCANABA---Holy Name Catholic School's adopted seminarian, Will Heller, who is also a USA Champion Weightlifter, having trained at the USOEC at Northern Michigan University, visited with HN studentS.

Holy Name students made cards for Will and the fifth grade class put together a care package for him. Students and staff will be praying for Will as he continues his studies at St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. Will is also a graduate of NMU with a degree in Exercise Science.
 
In the photos, he reads in the HN Chapel to HNCS first and second graders the book, “Father Ben gets ready for Mass” by Katie Warner, in which he taught about the different parts of the Holy Mass. After reading to them, Will answered questions from students. When one first grader asked why he chose to study to be a Catholic priest, Will answered, “I want to bring Jesus to the people and the people to Jesus.”
