BISHOP DAVID J. WALKOWIAK ASKS US TO PRAY FOR OUR SEMINARIANS
Loving God, raise up dedicated leaders who will shepherd your people and guide them to your Son. Give generous and willing hearts to the seminarians of our Diocese who have heard your call to live a life of service to the Church. Help us to encourage and support them as they strive to become priests who are models of discipleship, possessors of wisdom and on fire with love for your people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
We especially pray for: Mitchell Dietrich

Church Chuckle — An elderly
woman walked into the local Catholic church. The friendly ush-er greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. “Where would you like to sit?” he asked politely. “The front row, please,” she answered.. “You really don’t want to do that,” the usher said. “The priest is really boring.” “Do you happen to know who I am?” the woman inquired. “No,” he said. “I’m the priest’s mother,” she replied indignantly. “Do you know who I am?” he asked. “No,” she said. “OK, good,” he answered.
