OLMC is fundraising to support parishioners who are following vocations to priesthood and religious life.  Many young people who wish to enter formation have debts and other expenses which are not covered by the diocese or religious order.  OLMC would like your help to assist these parishioners to pursue these vocations of service to God and the Church. 

Isabel Essex

For the past two and a half years, with the help of my spiritual director and the Carmelite Vocation Directress, I’ve focused on discerning a vocation to religious life. I would like to pursue this vocation wholeheartedly by entering into Candidacy with the Carmelites of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles in Alhambra. I need your prayers and your help financially to make this happen!

Alec Williams

Right after graduation from JPCatholic, Theology & Philosophy student Alec Williams joined St. Michael's Abbey as a Seminarian to discern a priestly vocation with the Norbertines. In this video, he shares about his spiritual growth at JPCatholic, how the classes and environment here helped him with his discernment, and his advice for others considering a religious vocation. Please pray for Alec (now Frater Florian) as he continues his formation with the Norbertines! (Click here for video)
