FOLLOW ME   A vocation to the priesthood is an answer to Jesus’ call to participate in His work. Christ is the one who calls. Our seminarians have courageously responded to God’s call, but they also need the support and prayers of the people they hope to serve.  It is from within the Church - the community of hope and faith – that these men find the love, support, and courage they need to complete their journey and walk totally in the ways of the Lord.  Estimated Diocesan cost for providing our seminarians with tuition, books, room and board, health insurance, living allowances and retreats for the coming year will amount to nearly $700,000.  You can help by making an immediate gift to the Seminarian Education Fund.  Please pray daily for our seminarians and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.
