Lord Jesus Christ,
Living Bread come down from heaven,
in Your name we ask the Father
to bless the Diocese of Baker
with vocations to the priesthood.

By the prompting of the Holy Spirit
call forth from among us
men who are able to sympathize
with our weakness
and deal gently with the wayward,
men who will give us confidence
to draw near to the font of Mercy
and find grace in time of need.

Send us priests
to bring comfort to the afflicted,
pardon to the sinner,
and peace to the dying;
priests to hand You over to us
in the Breaking of the Bread.

High Priest
of the New and Eternal Covenant,
we place our trust in You.
To You be glory and praise forever.
Amen.
Composed by Bishop Liam Cary

Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary is a Roman Catholic professional and graduate theological institution dedicated uniquely to the preparation of seminarians thirty years of age and older responding to a call to priestly ministry.

Our program fosters the human, spiritual, academic and pastoral formation of its seminarians. We especially respect and utilize the life experiences and accomplishments of our mature seminarians, as we prepare them for priestly ministry.

The Seminary program is based on the Ratio Fundamentalis of the Holy See, the Program of Priestly Formation Fifth Edition, of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Post-Synodal Exhortation of Pope John Paul II, Pastores Dabo Vobis.
