Philadelphia, Pa., Aug 29, 2017 / 12:04 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The number of seminarians at Philadelphia’s St. Charles Borromeo Seminary is on the rise, and rector Bishop Timothy Senior says Pope Francis’ visit has been a positive influence on the seminarians.
“With 167 seminarians, we’re very excited and not only just the numbers but just extraordinary young men, candidates that really reflect the rich diversity of our region,” Bishop Senior told CBS Philly.
There are 43 new seminarians at St. Charles Borromeo this year, 11 of whom are enrolled for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Thank you Archbishop Chaput for bringing in all these seminarians to the seminary.

Thank you also to Pope Francis for coming in and having a “positive influence” on these seminarians as well.

God bless.

May God bless the work of Archbishop Chaput! Denver Catholics were sad to lose him.
