REDEMPTORIS MATER SEMINARY DUNDALK
The seminary has currently five priests who have been ordained for the Archdiocese of Armagh, including Fr. Juan. Two deacons are due to be ordained priests on 20 April. There are also seventeen seminarians in formation, living in cramped conditions. The seminary building is currently being extended and needs funds to complete the work. If your circumstances allow, could you make a one-off donation or donate £10 per month by Standing Order to help with this project to ensure availability of priests in our parishes going forward. Leaflets giving details are at the entrance to the Church. Please return Gift Aid declarations to the Sacristy or any of the priests.
