Vocations for the Priesthood....We have had the privilege of
host all the seminarians from Cardinal Glennon College the past

honor. For those who may wish to actively pray for our future

around our parishes. It has a blessed crucifix, rosary and
prayer cards. Please call the office if you and your family
would like to take a week to pray for vocations to the
priesthood and religious life.
