Diocese of Tarbes and Lourdes launches vocations campaign

Bishop Jean-Marc Micas has launched a vocations campaign for the Diocese of Tarbes and Lourdes to support the training of seminarians.

The campaign seeks financial donations to fund the six years of seminary required for candidates to enter the priesthood. These funds cover studies in philosophy and theology, pastoral training, spiritual and human formation, and the costs of community life.

Bishop Micas noted that the campaign follows a September 27 address by Pope Leo XIV to French seminarians. The bishop requested both prayers and financial contributions to ensure seminarians receive a complete education to serve the Church in the future.
