Listed below are the of names and addresses of all the seminarians studying for priesthood in the Fort Worth Diocese.

These young men need the support of all Catholics in the diocese. They are the priests who will serve our parishes in

years to come. You can help with your prayers and by sending them a Christmas greeting reminding them that you are

with them throughout their years of preparation. Pick out a few names at random from the list. Write a brief but per-

sonal message. Mail your greetings to them so as to reach them a week or two before Christmas. For those in Mexico,

add another week earlier. For Rome, add two weeks. Regular postage inside the USA is 49 cents; Mexico and Rome,

$1.15; all prices based on one ounce which should cover all cards of normal size.
