The Vocations Office relies on the generosity of our supporters to help provide the necessary resources for our men in formation. Thank you in advance for your donations and for your prayers.
Supporting Those Who are Called to Religious Life
Fishers of Men Appeal
The crucial work of raising up young men willing to discern a priestly vocation and the formation of our seminarians is a responsibility entrusted to the entire People of God – the Church.
By your generous financial support of the 2025 Fishers of Men Appeal, the seminary education and the formation of the future priests of the Diocese of Harrisburg will continue. We have been blessed in recent years with many excellent and faithful new priests. Thank you for your past generosity, which has enabled that blessing, and we hope that we can count on your support of this year’s appeal to assure that this blessing continues into the future.
Good priests do not just happen
