Saint John's Seminary

July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.

At the heart of priestly formation is the mystery of Christ’s sacrificial love. The Precious Blood of Jesus, poured out for the salvation of the world, reveals the depth of God’s mercy and the self-giving love that every priest is called to embody.

Through the Eucharist, seminarians are formed to draw ever closer to the Heart of Christ and to become men who will bring His mercy, healing, and compassion to the people they are called to serve.

May devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus inspire our seminarians, priests, and the entire Church to embrace a life of humble service and generous love.

Through Christ’s Precious Blood, may we be renewed for the mission entrusted to us.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV announced a Jubilee Year of Saint Francis in celebration of the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’s passage to Heaven.

The Christian faithful are invited to follow the example of the Saint of Assisi, becoming models of holiness and constant witnesses of peace – “and we will all be called to become saints in the contemporary world following the example of the Seraphic Patriarch.”

The Church grants a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions to those who participate devoutly in this extraordinary jubilee which runs from January 10, 2026 to January 10, 2027. To learn more, visit https://bit.ly/FrancisJubileeYear.
