Paolo Taffaro
Hometown: Meraux, Louisiana
Province: USA Central and Southern
Paolo, 23, graduated in 2020 from Saint Joseph Abbey Seminary College in Saint Benedict, Louisiana, and spent the past year teaching freshman theology at Jesuit High School of New Orleans. A visit to the tomb of St. Ignatius at the Church of the Gesù in Rome and the guidance of a Jesuit priest, who helped him discern his vocation, influenced his decision to enter the Society. Paolo likes to read, cook, sing and hike.
