Dear Friends in Christ:
As we are now in Hurricane Season, many people continue to rebuild after Hurricanes Laura and Ida. We implore Our Lady of Prompt Succor to intercede that all can be spared the loss of life and property. This month will mark transition of rectors as we welcome Father Josh Rodrigue and as I prepare to serve as Pastor of the newly created Divine Grace Parish in Pittsburgh. We are also preparing to welcome 25 new seminarians therefore we keep them in prayer as they make their transition to NDS. We ask God’s blessings on our newly ordained priests and deacons as they serve the People of God in their assignments. The rest of the seminary community are involved with parish assignments, CPE, IPF, language immersion, homeless and street ministry, and many other apostolates. Finally, the massacre of the school shooting in Texas and the ongoing invasion in the Ukraine are reminders of the presence of evil and our need as Christians to give witness to the Kingdom in a fallen world. Our goals in priestly formation is to form faithful, joyful spiritual fathers who can lead people as shepherds through valleys of darkness towards the glory of Christ. Please pray for the success of our formation programs at NDS!
