“The priesthood is not a profession; it is a vocation, a way of life” – Pope Francis

Thank you for your generous support of Priesthood Sunday, in support of seminarian education! Your contribution is more than a financial gift — it is an act of faith, trust, and love that enables our 32 seminarians to discern and embrace their calling with courage and humility.

The journey to the priesthood is a profound experience — one that asks each seminarian to model his life after Mary’s humble “yes” to God’s will, following her example of obedience and trust. Your generosity not only helps cover the costs of academic tuition and pastoral training but also sustains the spiritual growth that lies at the core of priestly formation. Each prayer offered, each hour of study, and every moment of reflection is possible because of faithful contributions from donors like you.

On behalf of all our seminarians, thank you for your faithfulness, your prayers, and your continued support. Through your kindness, our seminarians can focus more fully on their calling, knowing they are surrounded by a community that believes in them and walks alongside them. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue their transformative journey and know that you remain in ours.

In Christ,
Fr. Luke Wilgenbusch 
Director of Vocations
