Bradley Dickson

Bradley is a member of the St. Thomas Aquinas mission in Crane, OR. Growing up in a non-practicing Protestant home, his faith was negligible and, at times, nonexistent. In 2017, his lack of faith was shattered when he witnessed the power of prayer first hand. Bradley then began a journey of faith that led him through the RCIA and into the Catholic Church on March 31, 2018, at Holy Family Church in Burns, OR.

Bradley is in the propaedeutic (pronounced "pro-pa-DOO-tick") stage at Mount Angel Seminary. With the Holy See's approval, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops began implementing a new beginning step for those entering seminary called the propaedeutic stage in June 2022. This stage is designed to help men entering seminary disengage from a media-centric culture and to build a foundation of prayer within a way of life upon which each one's continuing priestly formation will be built.
