In the Diocese of Corpus Christi, we are blessed with seven men currently discerning the priesthood and studying in seminaries around the country and the world. Serving as Vocations Director, I am privileged to walk along side and support these young men and all those discerning a call to the priesthood.
Thanks to your many years of prayer and encouragement, we can walk alongside them as they travel the long and demanding journey and can celebrate seminarians ordained to the priesthood like Father Carlos de la Rosa and Father Charles Silva.
“I am so humbled and excited to be a priest! It has been a blessing to journey with the people of God in their deepest joys and sorrows, even in these first few months of priestly ministry.” said Father Carlos.
As you know, our priests and our seminarians preparing for the priesthood are an invaluable gift from our Lord but they need all our prayers and support during the many years of discernment and formation. I ask you to join me in supporting them.
First, please pray for them.
Secondly, I ask you to encourage any men who you feel might be called to the priesthood.
And finally, I ask you to prayerfully consider supporting each of our seven seminarians with a monthly gift today! Through your generosity, you’ll support seminarian education throughout our diocese and the formation of our future priests.
Thank you for your consideration! Your steadfast support will help meet the educational and spiritual needs of our seminarians, including those who will be ordained to the priesthood next summer, and help our future priests pursue their vocation. I am so grateful for you. May God bless you and your family.
