September, 2019

Month of the Seven Sorrows of Mary

Dear friends in the Lord:

Whenever I receive letters from parishioners, no letter cheers me more than when I read how much the faithful

love their priests. And as you know, most were educated and formed at our own seminary, St. Joseph’s,

Dunwoodie.

Our seminarians are not only the future shepherds of our flock, but they are also spiritual guides and leaders in

our communities. We must be sure that they are as well prepared as possible to serve the Church in New York.

And Dunwoodie is that place of formation and has been for the past 122 years. Thousands of holy, dedicated and

faithful priests have been ordained over these years. It is nationally renowned, held in the highest regard by

bishops from around the country. Each year, other dioceses and religious orders send their candidates to our

priestly formation program.

As I write to you today, I ask you to consider, in your own prayer, a sacrificial gift to the Annual Seminary Appeal.

It will be collected on the weekend of September 28-29, 2019. Your support will provide tuition, room and

board, academic training and spiritual formation for about 22 seminarians of the archdiocese. In a word, your

support will help prepare young men who will inspire those letters of admiration that I receive daily about so

many of our great priests.

The priesthood is a life of sacrifice and service. As you know, we do not have as many men making the

commitment to serve as priests as we did years ago, and I am so grateful to those who accept the Lord’s call.

Please help me in providing for our seminarians who will hand on the life and traditions of the Church as they

embark on their training to become your priests. To learn more, visit www.dunwoodie.edu.

With gratitude and prayerful best wishes, I am faithfully in Christ,

+Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan

He is the Life that I want to live.

He is the Light that I want to radiate.

He is the way to the Father.

He is the Love with which I want to

love.

He is the Joy that I want to share.

He is the Peace that I want to sow.

Jesus is Everything to me.

Without Him, I can do nothing.
