Meet our new seminarians
This fall, the Diocese of Owensboro welcomes three men as diocesan seminarians, which will increase the number of seminarians from three to six. All three new seminarians started school this August at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in St. Meinrad, Indiana, and are in their propaedeutic year – a formation stage to develop a life of prayer, study, fraternity, and appropriate docility to formation. To learn more about priestly discernment in the Diocese of Owensboro, contact vocations director Fr. Daniel Dillard at [email protected].
