A call to the priesthood begins with a quiet “yes”… but it is sustained by a faithful community.
Our seminarians are discerning, learning, and growing—guided by prayer, mentorship, and the support of the Church. One day, they will celebrate Mass, hear confessions, anoint the sick, and walk with families through life’s most sacred moments.
Your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal is an investment in these future shepherds—and in the life of our Church.
Together, we are forming priests whose lives will be poured out in love.
🙏❤️
