MOTHER OF GOOD COUNSEL SEMINARY 2025
We include in our prayers the seminarians of the Mother of Good Counsel Seminary, who opened their academic year today. The seminary, called the heart of the Archdiocese, is celebrating its 75th founding anniversary this 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of priests, and example of faithful, humble, and joyful acceptance of God’s will, help all those who are called to the priesthood to open their ears and hearts to the call of the Holy Spirit.
