We are blessed with a rich heritage of men who have given their lives to the service of our Church. Their living example of Jesus Christ in our midst, as teacher, father, friend, and brother, has enriched us with their sacrifice and dedication to Our Lord. “There is no greater happiness than being called to priesthood and to bring His word and mercy to others.” — Pope Francis The responsibility, spiritually and financially, of providing sufficient priests for the Church belongs to all of us. We are currently supporting 14 seminarians thanks to the support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. This year we ordained three priests and one transitional deacon. Our Office for Priestly Formation administers the diocesan program for both pre-seminarian and seminarian candidates and is located at the St. Francis Center on the University of San Diego campus. As a house of formation, St. Francis Center, helps prepare men in each of the four areas of formation: human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral for admission to a seminary school of theology. Those who are called to priestly service touch all our lives, the lives of our family members, neighbors, friends, and our entire communities. Our parishes have benefited from their leadership and guidance. Our communities have been inspired by their presence, demonstrating that living the life of Christ daily is possible. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Our Response as Stewards REFLECT . . . . . . .
