It's a prizeless blessing to have a priest....

It's a prizeless blessing to have a priest of their own as far as a catholic family is concerned. But it's not always possible for every family to have this blessing due to different reasons. Now through the sponsorship apostolate of seminary students you receive the opportunity to have a catholic priest of your own, as your son, as your holy son. This, your son- priest is to administer spiritual and sacramental assistance to the people of God, prays for you in his daily mass., he can fulfill all your spiritual needs even after your death. This priest in every respect is a blessi iig to your family.The Indian Conventual Franciscan students have 13 years to fulfill their priesthood studies. The students join the seminary just after their school education. They have three years of Initial Formation in the minor seminary, two years for Pre Novitiate and Novitiate, one year for regency and seven year for Philosophy and Theology. The sponsorship apostolate includes only the last eight year after the Novitiate. We need your help for this period of formation. You can do it at one time or bit by bit during these eight years.When you join this apostolate you will receive the student's photograph, and the details about him. You can have direct correspondence with him too. Dearest friend, this apostolate is ever more urgent in the catholic church now. The Global Church has a painful scarcity of purists. Hence, please consider it as a mission and duty to the church and the world.
