Hello, best wishes

[@bazzoncell6696]

I am a young priest from Ethiopia, just one year of service. Seminary life is the most beautiful time of formation. You gave us a clear image of your daily activities thanks for that. God bless you all. I love to visit this place, very beautiful.

Hi, Father. Do you accept late vocation? Are you in Addis Ababa?

[@loveisall5520]

I was Protestant until middle age when I converted. In my old age now, I am certain that I would have been called to the priesthood, because I was feeling a calling that I did not know what it was. I knew what it wasn’t: being a protestant minister . I am delighted to see these young men choosing this vocation.

[@roberthightower9889]

Very happy for the church’s future to see such well-rounded men studying for the priesthood. May God bless you all!

Well said. Bless the Benedictine community of Conception Abbey for their ministry to guide these young men in their discernment.

Thank you, Trevor, and all the folks who helped you create the video of your daily life. It brought back good memories of my time as a seminarian at Conception in 1966 -1967. I can tell that much has changed there since that time, and much of the beauty of that life remains the same. Thanks for letting us all catch a glimpse of your life and commitment.

Every rock and every cell every intricate detail in all of creation can’t help but scream loudly that this couldn’t have just been happenstance. Anyway I’m praying that you’d see the loving gaze of the Father and realize that His arms are open wide to you. He loves you. God bless!

As a convert from Jehovah’s Witness I can honestly say the traditional Latin mass is where it’s at. I used to go to the Novus Ordo mass for awhile but it’s nothing like the TLM. Prior to the pandemic around 21% of Catholics went to mass. Post pandemic only around 9% go to mass. The Novus Ordo has only had a 2% growth since 2020. But Latin mass parishes throughout America bring in 250,000+ people to mass every month. With a weekly average of $15,000-20,000 in collections. And even with the all the hate and restrictions thrown at it has had a 28% growth. That says a lot!

"Post pandemic..." one could make a case that those who have quit church (barring something like extreme fear of catching COVID) were just "cultural Catholics" who attended church for wrong motives.
