Opening the Doors to Christ
Through Vocations

This year’s Partners in Charity theme, “Open Wide the Doors to Christ,” is a fitting theme. For the funds raised by Partners in Charity greatly aids and makes possible a seminary education for those discerning a vocation to the priesthood in the Worcester Diocese. Moreover, these funds open the doors to seminarians in other countries who desire to transfer from their native homes and study for the diocese of Worcester. However, this theme is not restricted to giving only, but also by being gracious in receiving the graces and gifts God bestows upon us in various ways. I am grateful to God for my vocation and for those who have aided me in the discernment process. On behalf of my fellow seminarians of Worcester and myself, I would like to thank the faithful in Worcester for their prayers and their generosity. Grazie mille, thank you very much.
