The Diocese of Parramatta will celebrate the Holy Spirit Seminary Commencement Mass on Sunday, 2 March, at 11am at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta. The Mass will also be livestreamed.
This annual Mass marks the beginning of the academic year for the seminarians of the Diocese’s Holy Spirit Seminary: Macky Amores, Jeffrey Hood, Luke Huynh, Jose Valentine Lim, and Paul Tran.
As they continue their formation toward the priesthood, the faith community is invited to pray for them.
Bishop of Parramatta, Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv has spoken of the need for priests who “listen, accompany, and share the burdens of others.” The formation of these future priests is made possible through the prayers and support of the community.
Fr Menard Gaspi, ordained last year, expressed his gratitude for this support, calling it “the foundation” that sustained him in his journey.
All are welcome to attend the Mass and to keep the seminarians in their prayers.
The journey to becoming a Catholic priest requires discernment, dedication, and a deep commitment to serving the Church and its community. The process involves several steps to help you discern your suitability for the priesthood and provides the necessary formation and training.
If you’d like to learn more about Holy Spirit Seminary or joining the priesthood, please visit the Diocese of Parramatta website of email the Diocesan Director of Priestly Vocations, Fr Galbert Albino.
