Seminarian Julian Osborn

In mid-August St. Thomas the Apostle parishioner, Julian Osborn will depart Tucson for Conception Seminary College located in Conception, MO (90 miles northeast of Kansas City) to begin the propaedeutic stage of priestly discernment. Another of the Diocese of Tucson's year one seminarians - Francisco Sauceda - will also attend Conception. 

All parishioners are invited to pray for Julian, Francisco and others who are in various stages of their priesthood formation. We are also reminded that other St. Thomas men and women may be called to be priests, deacons and sisters. That is why prayers for vocations are so very important.

There will be a parish send-off for Julian after the 9:30 AM Mass this Sunday, August 4. Join him at Coffee & Donuts in the parish hall at 10:30 AM.

Enjoy reading about Julian and what his first-year studies will encompass.
