On this feast of All Souls, please pray for deceased priests: O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, N., to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to... the Order of Melchisedech, giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labours. This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord. Amen. #vocationministry #allsoulsday #prayforthedead #prayforyourpriest #catholicfamilies #catholicchurch

Last Friday Raffaele Salvino was ordained by Archbishop Miller as a deacon! We're going to have a conversation with Deacon Raf to hear about his experience and his dreams for ministry.

SEMINARY REDEMPTORIS MATTER, VANCOUVER, is launching the Mustard Seed Campaign. They are looking for supporters of the Seminary to donate a monthly amount of $10 or more. The goal is to sign up 1000 donors. This way, like the biblical mustard seeds, the Seminary will flourish and grow, and the young men in the Seminary will become good priests who will lead many to the Kingdom of Heaven. They need as many people as possible to make this a success. Please help by becoming a ...monthly donor, and by inviting others to join in donating. They can even be people from beyond the Archdiocese, Province, or even Country, who want to help in the formation of priests. Any monthly donor who signs up by December 31, 2020, will be entered in a draw for a $100 gift card. To donate, please go to the Seminary website at www.rmsvancouver.ca and click on the Donate button. If you have any questions please email the Seminary at [email protected], or [email protected].
