Meet Our Seminarians
Our seminarians are so grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and letters! Let's lift them up with prayer, love, and encouragements! Let them know we are thinking of them on their journey with a note, card, or small care package sent to the address below.
Take a moment to pray for each seminarian by name as they journey toward the priesthood. Your spiritual support means the world. A simple Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be offered for their vocation can make a powerful difference.
