Christmas Blessings from Sacred Heart Major Seminary

Jesus Christ's passion accentuates our preparation for the coming of the kingdom when He says, "watch and pray" (Mt. 26.41).

The seminary community is grateful for your prayers for our mission. With your support, the seminary will "watch and pray" with you and train faithful ministers to serve you through the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

We are continually uplifted and encouraged because of you. Thank you for your support of our ministry.

Wishing you a most blessed Christmas and joyful New Year!

The Christmas performance by the Seminarians of Sacred Heart Major Seminary was recorded this winter in the Sacred Heart Major Seminary Chapel. The carols selected are Soon and Very Soon by Andrae Crouch and Jack Schrader, Es Ist Ein Ros' Entsprungen by Michael Praetorius, and Auld Lang Syne. 

We offer a special thanks to Mrs. Stephanie Nofar-Kelly, Director of Liturgical Music, for her dedicated work with the choir.
