Would you call yourself a Dynamic Catholic? Yeah, me neither. If you’re anything like me, you may want to take a leaf out of Matthew Kelly’s book. Come join me in a four week course this summer to take an in-depth look at Mr. Kelly’s message. Together, we can enrich our faith lives and take off on a journey to set the world on fire with God’s love. We’ll have time for prayer, discussion and dessert!

Please participate in this year’s Seminarian Fund Appeal which provides the opportunity for donors to help seminarians with their education – a true investment in the Church’s future. The Appeal provides us with a tangible way to give back to those men who have chosen to give their lives to the Church. The average annual expense associated with the cost of educating one seminarian in formation for the priesthood is more than $40,000 per seminarian per year.

The dates for the Annual Diocesan “Seminarian Fund Appeal” have been set for June 8-9 and 15-16 and our parish goal is $15, 491.
