If you ever wanted to know how you could support our Seminarians best, here is your answer. This prayer card fits easily into a bible, breviary, or journal and allows you to pray for the seminarians by name every day. Each day we will pray together for a couple of our Seminarians, and through the grace of God, together we will support their journey to the priesthood while strengthening their spirit.

Take our seminarians with you on the go, and pray for them when reading your bible, spiritual reading, or any good book. Print these bookmarks for the families of your parish. Praying for our seminarians is the best way to support our future priests.
