Seminarians are the best friends anyone can ask for! There is something to be said about a young man who wants to dedicate his entire life to God and shepherd His people on their individual journeys to heaven. Men like myself really are inspired by the courage and faith that they display, knowing that following God plan for them was not easy. It takes a real man with huge ambitions and a great desire to do the will of God to become one of His priests. It is because of men like Deacon Dennis, a former Pediatrician and Deacon Mauricio, an aspiring mayor, that more and more young people are discerning a vocation to the priesthood and are filling St. Francis de Sales Seminary to the brim!

I am so honored and glad to know both of the men who are being ordained on Saturday morning at the Cathedral, and to be able to attend one of their first Masses! Not by any means is this the first time I have experienced these beautiful and awe-inspiring events, but each year I attend has me glowing with the fire of the Holy Spirit and hope for the church as we watch God's great work in the young men He has called come to fruition

Please join me in praying for them as they begin their work of bringing all of us into a deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father.
