Saturday, August 5 and Sunday, August 6, 2023. The second collection is to support the promotion of vocations to the priesthood and religious life which begins in the family and in the parish. The average cost per seminarian is about $45,000. The Diocese of Lubbock and its Vocations office provide a variety of resources to help parents, families, and parishes create a culture in which young people are naturally open to whatever vocation God calls them to. Thank you for your generosity.
