In our Diocese, the Lord is calling many young men and women to a life of service in a religious vocation. When I look back on my life, I see many moments and opportunities where God was calling me.
In the middle of my studies in the seminary, I spent a year at Our Lady of the Assumption Trappist monastery in Missouri. There, I was strengthened by God to continue to answer His call to serve Him as a diocesan priest. Through the prayers of many people, I was able to give a deeper “Yes” to the call.
Through the Raising Vocations Collection, we will be investing in ministries that encourage young men and women to say “Yes” to God’s calling to the priesthood or religious life.
This collection will support ministries such as Catholic campus ministries at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. It is here where campus ministers welcome college students to stay connected to their faith and the Church, while they are away from home. Your gift will also support campus ministers in our Catholic High Schools and help other ministries that increase vocations.
Please prayerfully consider joining me in supporting the Raising Vocations Collection with a generous gift. Thank you for your support and may God bless you abundantly!
