Bishop's Guild
The Bishop’s Guild is primarily concerned with the spiritual and financial
welfare of seminarians from this diocese who are studying for Holy Orders. Our
responsibility is to inspire, encourage, and recruit dedicated people to study
for the sacred ministry.
It is through prayers and gifts that we support our seminarians today, and
provide the church’s priests and bishops of tomorrow. Somke of the seminarians
are married, with families, and some are older and have left business positions.
Some are young people without sufficient means to complete their studies. It is
through your prayers and gifts that we can help meet their needs.
The Bishop’s Guild is a diocesan organization of clergy, clergy spouses, laymen
and laywomen, and church organizations. The Bishop of the Diocese is President
of the Guild. Everyone is encouraged to join.
How You Can Help
Extend your prayers for the sacred ministry and for our seminarians. The
Bishop’s Guild makes no demands on your time. However, this can be a rewarding
experience, both for you (or your group) and your seminarian. As a befriender,
you are encouraged to write, send cards, send news of your parish, and show an
active interest in his or her future, family, and hopes. In short, let your
seminarian know you care, warmly and often.
Call the diocesan office at 800-366-1536 for a referral to the appropriate
chairman.
