The annual Hog Roast with the seminarians and Archbishop Casey was a great success! Thanks especially to seminarians Benjamin Kalis and Seth Rinderle for preparing the hog!

Happy feast day of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests! A model of humility and holiness who drew countless souls to Christ. May all priests and seminarians be inspired by his example. St. John Vianney pray for us!

The Vocations Office will be sponsoring the Verso L’Alto Challenge on August 7, 2026! Come cheer on these young men and women with us!

Congratulations to seminarian Emerson Wells who placed 2nd overall in the Flying Pig Marathon with a marathon time of 2:23:52. Also, seminarian-led Verso L’Alto Track Club won the 4-man marathon relay. All Glory to God!!

It was a joyous day at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains in Cincinnati as five men were ordained transitional deacons by Archbishop Robert G. Casey and began their public ministries in the Church. Congrats to Deacon Luke Danis, Deacon Bao Duong, Deacon Zach Jarrell, Deacon David Morand and Deacon Alex Parra!
