“My Soul Magnifies the Lord”

Last weekend, our Seminary community welcomed 35 young men for our Diocesan Vocation Retreat to discern the call to the diocesan priesthood.
We reflected on Mary’s 𝘧𝘪𝘢𝘵 — her courageous “yes” to God and her willingness to trust in His plan.

We thank Fr Andre and Fr Jovita for sharing their insights and personal experiences of living out Mary’s 𝘧𝘪𝘢𝘵, both in their own discernment journeys and throughout their priesthood.

As we celebrate the Queenship of Mary today, let us remember to continue seeking Our Lady’s intercession for all who are discerning their vocation.
May we continue to magnify the Lord by our lives!

Blessed Feast of St John Mary Vianney!

As we celebrate the Patron Saint of Parish Priests, let us keep our priests and seminarians in prayers — asking that they may always reflect the Heart of the Good Shepherd in their lives and ministry.

Get to know our new Rector, Fr Jude, as he shares what being a priest truly means to him, the deepest joy he has found in his vocation, and how the witness of priests before him inspired his journey.
