Thank You, Lord. You are answering the prayer of your people by sending vocations to the priesthood. Please continue to send vocations to the priesthood and the religious life.

While we’re talking about seminarians, please pray for a young man of my acquaintance who, at 18 years old has just entered our diocese’s minor seminary.
Should this young man discern a vocation, in nine years he will make an outstanding and holy priest. He is a most impressive candidate and could use all our prayers.
Regards,
Deo Gratias! What wonderful news!
A number of young men from our parish are presently enrolled at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, and a few who’ve been ordained in recent years. The 5 who were ordained to the priesthood a few months ago are solidly orthodox, too.
