Peace in Christ! Thank you for taking time to visit the Seminarians of the Diocese of La Crosse website. Whether you are a young man from our diocese considering a possible call to the priesthood and would like to learn more about current seminarians or you are a treasured friend of Seminarians, we thank you for your interest and for stopping by this site.

As seminarians we are grateful for the support that we receive from people like you. We appreciate you! It is important to us that we foster good relationships with those we will be serving in the Church in the future. We hope that this page will help you better understand the life that we are living now in preparation for a possible life as a Catholic Priest and the situations which brought us to where we are today.

Know that we appreciate the kind cards, e-mails, and treats that you send us, whether materially or spiritually.  Please take some time and learn about us seminarians and why we entered into the preparation for the priesthood.  It is not always an easy path to follow, but we do it, not because it is easy, but out of love for God and His Church.

St. Charles Borromeo, Patron Saint of Seminarians: Pray for us!

Ego enim scio cogitationes quas cogito super vos ait Dominus cogitationes pacis et non adflictionis ut dem vobis finem et patientiam et invocabitis me et ibitis et orabitis me et exaudiam vos quaeretis me et invenietis cum quaesieritis me in toto corde vestro.
(Jeremiah xxix:xi-xiii)
