Concerning priestly formation, St. John Vianney once said that the primary goal of a priest’s life is to ‘give yourself completely to Jesus Christ out of sacrificial love’.

My aim as rector is to motivate our men to fulfill those words of St. John Vianney: to give themselves completely to Jesus out of sacrificial love.

The journey to ordination is a long and arduous one. Seven and a half years of formation can seem daunting. But, if the seminarian is faithful to Christ and His Church, those years are blessed times.

And so, I ask for your prayers for me, our staff and especially our seminarians. That our men will grow closer to Christ as they meditate on those wise words of St. John Vianney:

‘Give yourself completely to Jesus Christ out of sacrificial love’.

God bless you,
