The Vocation of Priesthood

Becoming a Priest

For those men exploring the Vocation of the Priesthood, please refer to the Austion Diocese website at austinvocations.com. Currently, we at St. Jerome are building content for our Vocations Ministry at St. Jerome. We hope to keep all of you informed of what is scheduled with the Parish and the Diocese.

Seminarian Activities in the Diocese

2024 Seminarian Appeal

This is an ongoing effort.  

• Currently, we have 41 seminarians. 

• The number is expected to increase to 49 this year. 

• The cost per seminarian is $70,000, including room & board, textbooks & insurance.

Please continue to pray for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
