Dear Brother in Christ,

 

If you have been searching the web for insight and guidance about your calling in this life and the vocation to the priesthood in particular, then you have a start here.  This site will allow you to read the biographies of our seminarians who have begun to discern their call to the diocesan priesthood.  While each of their stories and background is unique, their basic desire to respond to God’s loving plan unites them.  They have begun the fraternal labor of study, prayer and formation that will make them into the kind of Catholic men that will lead others to Christ.  If you would like to know more about their formation, note their seminaries and explore what gives these young men strength and certainty about God’s call.  If you would like to learn more about the possibility of studying for the priesthood in this Archdiocese, give me a call (402-558-3100) or contact my office (vocations@archomaha.org) and let us begin the conversation.  Remember what our Lord told his disciples and Saint Peter in particular:  “Take courage, it is I.  Do not be afraid.”  Encounter the Lord in the seminary, and you will be given all you need to discern His holy will and follow him with a joyful heart.  Be assured of my prayers for you.

 

Yours in Christ,
Fr. Paul C. Hoesing
