“No vocation is born of itself or lives for itself. A vocation flows from the heart of God and blossoms in the good soil of faithful people.” ~Pope Francis
Our Commitment to Vocations
Teaching Parish program
The Teaching Parish Program at St. Francis de Sales Seminary is a systematic approach and sequential formation process that leads seminarians to experience and understand the totality of parish life. With praise and thanksgiving, St. Dominic Catholic Parish continues to be recognized as a host site for this program. Our faith community has a love for the priesthood and welcomes seminarians into our parish family. Through this program, we are proud to have helped the priestly formation of the following men:
- Fr. Kevin McManaman
- Fr. Hugo Londono
- Fr. Luke Strand
- Fr. Phil Bogacki
- Fr. Michael Thiel
- Fr. Nick Baumgardner
- Fr. Alex Kren
If you are discerning a possible call to the priesthood or religious life, please contact one of our pastors to help you begin the journey of discernment. If you are interested in the permanent diaconate, please contact Deacon Greg Diciaula. You can also find information on women's orders, the diaconate, lay ministry and priesthood at the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Vocations page.
Please join us in celebrating and supporting these men currently in formation:
