Shalom Catholic Community welcomes its new 15 Seminarians who will now start a new journey of discernment and formation towards priesthood.
The Community is made of missionary men, women, singles, married couples and priests. It currently has 24 ordained priests who are in service of the Church in many of the Community’s missionary houses all over the world. Before ordination, the Seminarians Shalom undergo a long period of studies, formation, discernment, apostolic service in the Community’s many apostolic works, all of this in order to become a proper sign of the Lord’s mercy to the world.
This year, Shalom Community have the joy of receiving 15 new young men who will begin their studies in early 2016. The Community has currently 70 Seminarians. This year’s theme for the Shalom Priests and Seminarian Promotion, a special sector within the Community dedicated to the promotion and formation of seminarians and priests, is “If it depends on me there will always be new priests”.
