Father Jonathan Wisneski, the Co-director for Clergy Vocations, recently shared news of some things touching the lives of a few of our seminarians. I'd like to share them with you.
Matthew Morelli and Daniel Ulishney are students at the North American College (Seminary) in Rome. They have returned home for the summer after two years abroad, and will be returning to Rome later this summer. They will be on summer assignment while home and visiting with family and friends.
Anthony Klimko of my home parish of Saint Joseph in Uniontown was admitted to Candidacy for the Orders of Deacon and Priest last Sunday in Uniontown by Bishop Brandt. He will be leaving on July 17th for his theology studies in Rome. We wish him well. God willing, when ordained, he will be the seventh priest from Saint Joseph parish. The other six of us are all active withing the diocese.
Tyler Bandura has received a full scholarship from the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Rome. Bishop Brandt is a member of the Order. Tyler will spend three weeks in Israel and a week in Rome with a dozen other seminarians.
When I was in the seminary, there were no such exciting opportunities. Oh, well. Congratulation to these men on their achievements and their opportunities.

GETTYSBURG at 148
I probably have mentioned that I am a American Civil War buff.
Today marks Day Two of the three day conflict
that took place around a small Pennsylvania town
called Gettysburg in the middle of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
July 1, 2 & 3 in 1863 were momentous moments
in a devastating Civil War between the North and the South.
Gettysburg was a decisive battle of that war.
Today, Gettysburg is a peaceful little hamlet that pays testimony
to courage and honor on both sides.
