4 The Candidates for Ordination (2018) Kyle Patrick Bell was born in Tampa and was baptized as a baby and nurtured in the faith at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in Tampa. Though he always believed in God, his relationship with Jesus took time to develop, and by the time he attended Florida State University, our Lord was starting to really work on his heart. It was at FSU that Kyle first felt a call to ministry. Upon graduation he enrolled at Asbury Theological Seminary a small Methodist seminary in Kentucky. However, through his studies at Asbury, Kyle began to fall in love with the Eucharist and the Roman Catholic Church. He enrolled in a local parish RCIA program and was received into full communion in the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in Kyle left Asbury and went on to receive a Masters in Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville; but that original call to ministry he had felt at FSU still tugged at his heart. Eventually, Kyle entered the seminary for the Diocese of St Petersburg and on April 1, 2017 was ordained to the Transitional Diaconate. As a seminarian for the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Kyle has served in the following parishes: St. Raphael (St. Petersburg), Nativity (Brandon), and St. John Vianney (St. Pete Beach). Reverend Kyle Bell will begin his first priestly assignment as the Parochial Vicar at St. Ignatius of Antioch Parish in Tarpon Springs. Communion Comunión Oh Señor, Delante de Ti Louis ( Lou ) Gonzague Turcotte, was born on June 8, 1990, and grew up in Clearwater, Florida with his parents and two sisters. Raised Catholic, he is a parishioner of Light of Christ Church and attended St. Cecelia Interparochial School from kindergarten through 8th grade. He graduated from Clearwater High School in 2008 and studied at the University of Florida, where he became very involved with the Catholic Student Union and the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). As his faith life continued to deepen, he felt God pulling him toward the priesthood, and entered seminary in 2011 after graduating with a degree in Marketing. Through his seven years of formation, Lou has had amazing experiences in hospitals, prisons, foreign countries, and the amazing parishes of our diocese. With a heart full of gratitude for his life s journey, and the people who have been a part of it, Lou is looking forward to his priesthood with great hope and joy.
