Three St. Louis High School graduates have been accepted for seminary studies for the Diocese of Lake Charles. All three will attend St. Joseph Seminary College as college Freshmen in St. Benedict, LA near Covington. Our Diocese now has a total of eight men in various stages of formation for the priesthood.

Liam Leonard is the son of Kevin and Cathy Leonard of Sulphur and his home parish is Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Julian Jones is the son of Dawn Walker of Lake Charles and the late Shannon Brown and his home parish is St. Margaret. Our returning seminarians are: Philip Seilhan (2^nd year college at St. Joseph Seminary). All of our other seminarians are attending Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. They are: Treville Belcher and Garrett Broussard (1^st year Theology), Hunter Larocca (2^nd year Theology) and Josh Page (3^rd year Theology).
Our Diocese has been blessed with excellent young men who are discerning God’s call to the priesthood. Next week all of our seminarians will gather for a few days of prayer and orientation before departing for their assigned seminaries. Please keep all of our seminarians in prayer. 
 We are grateful for the ministry of our Altar Servers. We will host an appreciation social for them on Tuesday afternoon, August 3^rd. Call Tebble Robertson at
