SEMINARY APPEAL 2026
Hope Grows Here - Supporting the call to priesthood in our own communities
This year’s appeal takes place on Good Shepherd Sunday, 26 April 2026, a time when the Church reflects on vocation and prays for those called to serve.
Across our Diocese, we are beginning to see signs of hope, with men from our own communities responding to God’s call. The Seminary Appeal invites us all to take part in this work — through prayer and practical support — helping to form those who will serve our parishes in the years to come.
Our Seminarians, Nhat, Jack, Hung and Samuel
The Journey of Formation
Each seminarian's path to priesthood involves rigourous study, spiritual development, and pastoral training. Your support contributes directly to every part of their formation.
