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.
