A Day in the Life...
Those of us from the Diocese of Superior, studying for priesthood, come from many walks of life. We have heard God's call at different times, in different ways. Yet, we all have one goal: to live our faith and share it with others, serving God and His people as priests.
No two seminarians experience the exact same day, but we experience a common purpose throughout each day: forming ourselves humanly, intellectually, spiritually, and pastorally. Forming us in the image of Christ- becoming priests once day.
Every man is different, every day is different, but all of our schedules are punctuated by prayer from the Church's Liturgy of the Hours and by the hard work of formation.
“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ.” — St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests
