Seminarians Gather in D.C.
Over Labor Day weekend, 30 promised priests gathered in our nation’s capital for a weekend of prayer, formation, and dialogue with the Archdiocese for the Military Services. The annual gathering is part of the AMS Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program. The Saturday morning mass took place at the Crypt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Several MCCW women were able to join them for that mass and it was a wonderful experience to pray with these men who are discerning a vocation within a vocation.
MCCW has endowed a scholarship to directly assist with the costs of seminary for these faithful men. When we gather in Tampa for Forum 2022, we will continue our tradition of hosting a silent auction to raise funds for this scholarship. Your generosity is always appreciated and welcomed; more details will be revealed in the coming months. May God continue to bless our Promised Priests.
