Graham Fassero

First Theology

Pontifical North American College
Saint John Paul II Seminary


Hi, I’m Graham Fassero! I’m studying at Saint John Paul II Seminary in Washington, D.C. My home parish is St. Augustine, Richmond, which is where I came into the church in 2016. Before entering seminary, I worked in public safety for five years, and before that, I tinkered in freelance web design. I play piano and guitar — mostly hymns and contemporary Christian music.

I’m the oldest of eleven kids, and my family lives just north of Lynchburg, VA, where I grew up. My parents are Baptists, and they gave me a love of scripture and prayer that have helped me on my spiritual journey. We like to spend time together playing board games, talking about books, cooking, eating foreign food, singing, playing music, and hiking.

Favorite Book:  The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

Favorite Saint:  St. Joseph

Home Parish:  St. Augustine, Richmond
