Paul Flagg was born and raised in Bedford, Virginia. He is the middle child out of five children in his family. Paul was homeschooled all the way through high school and attended Christendom College in Front Royal Virginia, graduating with a B.A. in Political Science in 2017. He has held a real estate license, working as an appraiser and has had the privilege to work for his Alma Mater in Rome, Italy for their study abroad program. During his time in Rome, as well as other times in his life, Paul felt he was being called to follow Jesus more closely, which led him to applying and eventually being accepted by the Diocese of Richmond in 2021. He has completed his first year in philosophy at Mount St Mary's Seminary and is happy to be here for the summer.
