I think they are all local, but I do not know. The diocese covers eight counties and almost 700,000 catholics in 185 parishes. There are four other diocese in the state including the ArchDiocese of Cincinnati.

I have no idea what to account of the increase in vocations. Perhaps prayer.

**Perhaps prayer.**

Yes, and the workings of the Serra Club. Is there one near you?

There are two dioceses here in Oregon. But we get a lot of seminarians at Mount Angel Seminary from the west coast:

And other outlying dioceses.
