IN OUR DIOCESE

COME FOLLOW ME What began as Jesus' invitation to His first apostles continues today. Jesus still calls men to take up the cross and follow Him. What unites priests of various generations and our Diocesan seminarians is not why they answered the call. What unites them is that Jesus called each one of them. He calls them to continue His ministry through faith, celebration of the sacraments, service and proclamation of the Word. Today the number of seminarians preparing for service in our Diocese has risen to over twenty. Our seminarians are studying here in the U.S. and abroad. Costs for seminarians' tuition, room and board, books, health care, living expense allowances and retreats will amount to over $720,000. Please carefully read the letter and brochure you will receive from Bishop Foys, and come to Mass next weekend ready to commit yourself to demonstrate your support of our seminarians through daily prayer and also through a generous gift to the Seminarian Education Fund for 2007.
