Thank you to the priests, school administration, faculty, staff, volunteers, and everyone who worked so diligently to make this beautiful gathering possible. Your dedication and collaboration helped provide a meaningful experience of faith, prayer, and vocational discernment for our young people.

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Miami gathered for their annual Convocation, beginning with the Opening Mass celebrated by Archbishop Thomas Wenski. Pictured with Archbishop Wenski is Fr. Milton J. Martínez, Director of Vocations, together with the seminarians at St. Hugh Catholic Parish.

We are deeply grateful to the parish community of St. Hugh and to their pastor, Fr. Luis Largaespada, for their warm hospitality and generous welcome as we began these days of prayer, fraternity, and formation. Please keep our seminarians in your prayers as they continue to discern and prepare to serve the People of God.

Every vocation is a gift from God, and every gift needs the support of the Church.

The annual Seminary Burse Fund Collection will be held the weekend of August 1–2 in all parishes of the Archdiocese of Miami. Your generosity helps form the future priests who will one day serve our families and communities.

Please take a moment to read the testimonies of our seminarians and learn how you can support priestly vocations. Thank you for your prayers and generosity. Please continue to pray for our seminarians and for an increase in holy vocations.
