Family Formation

Church of Saint Paul families, have you “met” your seminarian yet?  During the January classroom meeting, each of your children received a card with the photo and name of a seminarian from our diocese.  We highly encourage you to pray for that man as often as possible and to establish a relationship with him in some way.  Of course, the best way is to pray for him, but you may also want to send a simple note of encouragement, mail cookies, or send some other small item that a college student might like.

Before you do any of that though, you might want to check out his profile on the archdiocesan vocation site.  Each seminarian has a page with information about his background, discernment process, family, likes and dislikes, etc.  It’s interesting to learn more about them and it’s a great way to get to know the seminarian your student adopted.
