Seminarian Education Fund

In my short time as Vocation Director, I’ve seen firsthand that our young people are listening

to that call. We now have 10 men in formation for the priesthood in our diocese. Some

are from here in Kentucky, while others come from the Philippines, Africa, Mexico, and South

America. Their backgrounds and stories are different, but they share one thing in common:

they have heard the Lord inviting them to serve His people with their whole hearts.

Your generosity makes this possible. Because of your support, these men can focus on

prayer, study, and ministry, without worrying about how to cover the cost of seminary.

Your gift allows them to grow spiritually and academically, preparing to bring the Gospel

into parishes, schools, hospitals, prisons, and every place Christ needs to be

proclaimed.

This Giving Tuesday, I invite you to consider making a special gift for tuition assistance. Every

donation, no matter the size, directly supports the formation of future priests—men who

will shepherd our parishes and communities with faith, courage, and love. Your support today

helps ensure that God’s call is answered without hesitation, and that our diocese will be blessed

with faithful priests for generations to come.

Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your belief in the future of our Church. Together,

we can help these men say “yes” to God’s call with confidence and joy.

In Christ,

Rev. Fr. G. Marc Bentley

Vocations Director
