FIRST COMMUNION ON SUNDAY, MAY 25TH! What better way to celebrate the Infant King than by bringing

more children to his Eucharistic table!

SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR INSTITUTE SEMINARIANS: NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 4

Twice a year we kindly ask your help to support seminarians of the Institute of Christ the King—your future priests. Our international seminary, located in Gricigliano, near Florence, Italy, provides priestly formation for about 70 seminarians - not to mention the other 20 who work and study in our worldwide apostolates because the seminary building is not large enough to accommodate them all! The cost of maintaining the seminary and of making new rooms to accommodate our increasing number of seminarians alone is quite high. Many seminarians cannot afford the modest tuition fee on their own. May God bless you for your generosity toward His future priests on Good Shepherd Sunday, May 4!
