Theology III
St. Paul Seminary; St. Paul, MN
Joseph Littlefield attended Hatton Eielson Public School in Hatton, ND from kindergarten through high school. He began to seriously discern the priesthood at the end of his eighth grade year. By the end of the summer of that year, God gave him an overwhelming sense of peace at the idea of becoming a priest. He wanted to go to seminary right out of high school, but by the beginning of his senior year, God called him to attend the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND before joining the seminary. After attending the University of Mary for two years, he applied and was accepted as seminarian for the Diocese of Fargo. He finished up the last two years of his philosophy degree at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan and is currently completing his priestly formation at St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.
