BENEFITING SEMINARIAN EDUCATIONIN WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA

Prayer for VocationsLord Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father and Mary Immaculate, grant to our young people the generosity necessary to follow Your call and the courage required to overcome all obstacles to their vocation.Give to parents that faith, love and spirit of sacrifice which will inspire them to offer their children to God’s service and to rejoice whenever one of their children is called to the priesthood or religious life.May Your example and that of Your Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph encourage both young people and parents and let Your grace sustain them. Amen.

“Fish on!” – music to one’s ears! I want to take this opportunity to invite everyone to our fourth annual Bishop’s Fishing Tournament for Seminarians. There are several ways you can participate. First, we welcome all to enjoy the day fishing on the Missouri River with Bishop Gruss and our seminarians! At the conclusion of the tournament,

Bishop Gruss will celebrate Mass followed by a silent auction and fish fry. All of the proceeds will go to benefit our seminarians. If you cannot attend the event there are other ways you can help. For the silent auction, we need baskets to sell. if you are interested in donating a basket, please contact Doris Bride, dbride@diorc.org. Finally, we greatly appreciate your financial assistance to help fund the education of our seminarians. The annual cost to educate a seminarian is more than $33,000 a year. Over the course of the last three years, the Diocese supported 16 men as they discerned the priesthood. What a blessing! Currently, we have eight men studying for the Diocese of Rapid City, two of whom will be ordained to the priesthood July 2, Deacon Mark Horn and Deacon John Paul Trask. Your generosity and support have helped form and shape young men discerning God's incredible call to the priesthood. Your gifts and support truly are a blessing! Thank you!

Come and enjoy a day filled with fishing, festivities and food.

We look forward to seeing you there!
