Please Pray and Give Generously to Support Our Future Priests
Next Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday, also known as Vocations Sunday. It is the day we pray for priests and for vocations to the priesthood. The annual collection for the Priest Training Fund will take place next weekend.
This fund pays for the priestly formation of men for the Catholic priesthood. There are currently 58 men studying at Allen hall seminary, 17 of whom are from our own Diocese, and two men are studying in Rome, also from our Diocese. Last year four men who studied at Allen Hall were ordained to the priesthood to service as our future priests. This fund also supports the ongoing enrichment and formation of our ordained priests. Your generous donation helps ensure we can support these men who are called to be like Christ the Good Shepherd.
Donation envelopes are available at the back of the church. Please take one home, read the information, and bring it back next weekend with your donation. Please continue to pray for vocations and for our priests.
