Fr. Julian, a native of Medellin, Colombia, felt called by God as a student at the Archdiocese of Medellin’s minor seminary. He began his university studies at Universidad de Antioquia, but on the advice of his Carmelite spiritual director transferred to the more religiously sensitive Universidad Luis Amigo.  In 2008, Fr. Julian came to the United States, where he prepared for the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, first at St. Andrew’s Seminary and then at St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD.  Fr. Julian is the finance and operations director of a nonprofit that provides free legal aid to those in need.
