Adam Marchese
“I knew from the time I was 10 what I wanted to do,”
Deacon Marchese said. “It had nothing to do with the
military or becoming a priest. I always wanted to be a
chef.” The Annunciation Catholic Church (Altamonte
Springs) parishioner went to culinary school and
worked at the Ritz Carlton in South Florida. Although
he fulfilled his dream, he was still unsettled. He noted,
“There was always a better job to have. There was
always a better place to live, a nicer car, more money
to make. And I realized that none of that was fulfilling.”
Taking it to prayer, he asked the Lord, “How can I best
serve your Church?” He felt God gently ask him to
consider the priesthood. His initial reaction was
“absolutely not.” Taking time to ponder and examine
his life, he made his decision. “Once I finally
surrendered myself to the Lord and said, ‘Okay,
whatever you have in store I’m just going to trust in this,’ it’s as if any barricades or blocks in
my life just opened up,” he recalled.
His family was faithful, but he notes he did not attend Catholic school, was not an altar server,
or part of any ministry growing up. He credits a “good community of friends” and supportive
parents… and the Holy Spirit. “…nothing is going to stop the Holy Spirit from calling a man if
he is called. The spirit is going to continue to strive after those whom He has called and that’s
what happened for me,” said Deacon Marchese.
“There are times when you wonder if you can accept all those things that the Lord is asking
you to do. And then you realize, you must surrender yourself and give it over to the Lord
because it is not up to me. …He wouldn’t call me; He would not ask me to do this if it weren’t
possible through me,” he added.
It was the idea of becoming a military chaplain that compelled him to embrace his priestly
vocation. “That’s when I went from ‘I don’t know’ to ‘Wow, that’s what the Lord is calling me
to,’” he explained. Having been part of Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) in
high school and realizing that service men and women wanting to receive Sacraments often
have to wait six months for a chaplain, affirmed his decision. “Who needs a pastor to guide
them through these troubling times more than those who are currently serving and desiring to
be fed from the Eucharist and be redeemed through Reconciliation?” Deacon Marchese said in
an interview with the Florida Catholic in 2019. Convincing Bishop John Noonan took some

time, but he was eventually convinced this was the seminarian’s vocation. Military chaplains
must be co-sponsored by their diocese and the branch of the military they are entering.
Marchese will be an Army chaplain. Once ordained to the priesthood, he will serve in the
Diocese of Orlando for three years, then the Army for five years as an active duty chaplain.
During his training, Deacon Marchese recalled, “There are days out in the field where the altar
was two cases of MREs (Meals Ready To Eat) and just a cloth on top, and I threw my deacon’s
stole on and the priest had a camouflage robe over himself and we celebrated Mass. We had
to make sure that we brought everything with us; the host, the wine… to ensure that we
would be able to celebrate the Sacraments.”
Hearing stories of soldiers breaking into tears when given the chance to receive Reconciliation
or Holy Eucharist, Deacon Marchese told his mother he wanted to serve “those overseas
willing to fight for our country, and those are the people I want to bring the Sacraments to,
because they don’t have the option. If there is no priest, there are no Sacraments.”
As his Ordination approaches, he becomes more certain of who he is in Christ. A recent
weekend assignment caused him to look back and reflect on his Ordination as transitional
deacon. He said he felt the Lord “just reminding me of my identity and who I am; who the
Lord is calling me to be.” He added, “I feel more Adam now that I ever have been. This is who
I am. This is a part of me and I look forward to becoming more of that identity.”

Thomas Pringle
Psalm 139 reminds Deacon Thomas Pringle of his own
story. Perhaps that is why the entire Psalm is his
favorite Scripture passage. Yet verse 13 carries special
meaning. “You formed my inmost being; you knit me
in my mother’s womb.” When his mother was
pregnant with him, there were complications. “The
doctor was doing some tests and he actually came
back to my mom and said, you know we think that
your child is going to be born with Down Syndrome
and be physically deformed,” Deacon Pringle said. The
doctor told her it would be “in (her) best interest” to
terminate the pregnancy. His mother was devastated.
Unable to go to the doctor that day, his father
returned home to find his wife on the floor, crying.
After talking a while, he turned to her and said, “We
are going to take whatever gift God gives us.”
“This psalm really touches the very core of who I am, and it reminds me of the faith that my
parents had and the great blessing that the Lord has given me by giving me the gift of life,”
Deacon Pringle said. “You know, I sometimes get very emotional talking about that story and
the love that my parents have for me. I wouldn’t be here today it wasn’t for their faith.”
Born and raised in Orlando at St. Charles Borromeo Parish, his mother claims she took him
there when he was three days old and he never left. He came from a strong faith background,
but it was his mother who handed down his cherished beliefs and accompanied him on his faith
journey. “People say that it takes a village to raise a child…,” noted Pringle. “It really did in my
case; it took the community of St. Charles, the whole community to really foster the vocation
to the priesthood that the Lord put on my heart.”
Deacon Pringle was an altar server in third grade when he began to pay particular attention to
the priest at Mass. As Pringle stood near the altar, something began to stir within him. He
remembers thinking, “I could do that.” He acknowledges, “There were days that I ran from it
and didn’t want to address it and didn’t want to think about it, but the Lord kept bringing me
back to that vocation.”
Years passed and his vocation only grew stronger. He decided to see the vocations director,
Father Miguel Gonzalez, at the time. He told no one until afterward. “When I told (mom), we
kinda just cried together; we hugged each other,” he recalled. “My parents have been
incredible from the very beginning.”

Moved by the birth of his nephew in 2009, he struggled with his desire to be a father. Still
unsure about what exactly God was asking of him, he took some time away from the seminary.
His parents respected his decision. During that time, “The Lord kept inviting me to go deeper
with Him,” he recalled. In 2014, he chose to return to the seminary and give it another chance.
Reflecting on his struggles and discernment, Deacon Pringle noted, “I think for any man
discerning the priesthood, having the desire to be a father is a really good thing, because as a
priest we are going to be fathers. That desire is a good thing, because that is what gives us the
drive to be there for our people.” It is this very desire that propels him as he anticipates his
Ordination.
He prays that St. Charles give him a heart like his own. Remembering his days as an altar
server, moved by the Consecration, he is grateful for the powerful impact the Eucharist has
had in his life. “It is really Jesus in the Eucharist that I run to. And I think being able to bring
Jesus and make Jesus present in the Eucharist, as a priest, and bringing that Eucharist to others,
that’s going to be such an incredible and powerful part of my ministry.” He added, “Had it not
been for the Eucharist, I am not sure that I would be here. It is really Jesus in the Eucharist that
I run to.”
