OUR SACRED MISSION

Join Bishop Robert Gruss for the annual Bishop’s Hunt for Seminarians. There are several ways you can participate. First, the night before the hunt, we welcome you to enjoy the social and dinner prepared by the Stukel family. Second, come and enjoy hunting with the bishop and our seminarians. The hunt day begins with the rosary and a Mass celebrated by Bishop Robert Gruss. All proceeds will benefit our seminarians.

If you cannot attend the event, there are ways you can help. We greatly appreciate your financial assistance to help fund the education of our seminarians. The annual cost to educate a seminarian is more than $33,000. Over the course of the last three years, the diocese supported 16 men as they discerned the priesthood. What a blessing! Your generosity and support have helped form and shape young men discerning God’s incredible call to the priesthood. Your gifts and support truly are a blessing.

Fr. John Riccardo, a priest from the Archdiocese of Detroit, will be our keynote speaker for this year’s Summit 2019.

Fr. Riccardo is the author of, “Heaven Starts Now: Becoming a Saint Day by Day”, is often heard on Catholic radio, and speaks nationwide.  He was ordained in 1996 and has served at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, Divine Child Catholic Church, The Cardinal Maida Institute for Marriage and Family, and St. Anastasia Catholic Church.

He now leads a non-profit movement, Acts XXIX.  Acts XXIX works to mentor Catholic parishes who desire parish renewal and want to create a culture of evangelization.

Most importantly, though, Fr. Riccardo has a gift for preaching and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in a way that moves people’s hearts.  And at this year’s Summit, he will be sharing this gift of preaching with us.

Cost: $25 per individual or $50 per family
Registration includes Saturday lunch and dinner
