Read the Pastoral Letter
Archbishop Marcel Damphousse has issued a pastoral letter for Good Shepherd Sunday (April 26), sharing encouraging news about the growth of vocations in our archdiocese. After a time with no seminarians in formation, there are now six men preparing for the priesthood, with as many as twelve expected next year.
This is a powerful sign of hope for the Church and a reminder that the Lord continues to call men to serve as shepherds of His people.
We invite you to read the Archbishop’s full letter below, and to reflect on our shared responsibility to support these men through prayer and generosity.
