Help them answer God's call

AND JOIN US AS MISSIONARIES OF THE GOSPEL

DONATE TODAY

Even as a young man growing up, Father Galbert had a desire to serve God and become a priest. 

“I must first give thanks to God for the gift of faith and His loving invitation to share in His divine life. Not only did He see fit to bless me with this faith, but He also called me to the path of the priesthood. For this wonderful gift, I can only bow in humble gratitude.”

Thanks to the formation, spiritual support and guidance he received at the Holy Spirit Seminary in Harris Park, Father Galbert is now serving our community as a priest and missionary of the Gospel.

“Please pray not just for me but also for our bishop, priests, deacons and seminarians, that we will be faithful to our calling and not falter in our service to you.”
