NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The road to the priesthood hasn’t always been easy for St. Agnes Assistant Priest the Rev. Dr. Travis Fernander.

Traditionally, priests are usually older than this 31-year-old. As a result, he says it was a cultural change for most of his parishioners. But he’s has found the way around it.

He admits though, that getting them to warm up also wasn’t easy.

As a millennial priest, Fernander says he’s found ways to integrate the older generation with younger congregants and new members.

He says he sets rules for himself, to ensure time is set aside for himself.

While he says he struggled with it in his early years in the priesthood, now he has set ground rules.

His advice to other millennial priests? To put your ego aside and respect the ethos of the church.
