I
would like to thank Mick Gilliam for appointing me to the position of Vocation
Chairman. Vocations in the
Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese are holding steady but more are always
needed. We had two seminarians ordained to the priesthood in June. This fall, I
should have a complete list of seminarians and postulates, which will be mailed
to each council. At present we have only 4 men studying for the priesthood and
two women in formation that we know of.
Father
J. Friedel is the new Director of Vocations for the
Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese. His email address is jfriedel@dioscg.org. He has asked that
councils contact him when making contributions to the seminarians, in order to
assure that everyone will receive support.
If you have a specific seminarian that your council wishes to support,
you can also earmark your contribution accordingly.
We
must continue to show our support for our seminarians and postulates. We can do this in many ways, such as simply
sending cards and letters on birthdays and holidays or extending an invitation
to council meetings or functions. We can
also use the R.S.V.P. program. When contributing $500 to a seminarian or
postulate, the Supreme Council will refund $100 back to the council. The most
important thing we can do is ask the question,
“Have you ever considered a religious vocation?”
I
want to thank everyone for their support in the past and ask for their
continued support in the future.
Fraternally
yours,
James
