In this installment of our #FiveQuestions series, Deacon Mike Hayes speaks with Paulist seminarian Marvin Ruano.

Marvin made his First Promise to the Paulist Fathers during a Mass in the chapel of our seminary in Washington, D.C., on September 3, 2025.

During their conversation, Marvin recalls a special moment during the First Promises Mass; shares details about a book on the Eucharist he finds helpful; talks about a favorite cuisine (Vietnamese); and more.
