We joyfully congratulate our seminarians who will celebrate the
Rite of Admission to Candidacy
at Saint John’s Seminary. This sacred milestone, to be celebrated by Bishop Bruce Lewandowski of Providence, marks an important step in their journey toward the priesthood.
The Rite of Candidacy signifies that a seminarian has reached a point in his discernment where both he and the Church are ready to publicly affirm his intention to pursue Holy Orders. During this rite, each man promises to prepare himself—both in mind and spirit—to give faithful service to Christ and His Church.
We ask for your prayers as we honor and support these men:
Steven Diel – Diocese of Providence
Daniel Morrissey – Diocese of Worcester
Samuel Kalu - Archdiocese of Boston
Kennedy Ogujiuba - Archdiocese of Boston
Jesus Reynoso – Diocese of Providence
May the Lord continue to guide them with wisdom, courage, and grace as they respond to His call.
