Dear Friend of Holy Trinity Seminary:

It is my pleasure as rector to announce that Holy Trinity Seminary is hosting the annual Seminarian Welcome Dinner to introduce the new and returning seminarians of Holy Trinity Seminary and of Redemptoris Mater Seminary. This annual tradition inaugurates the seminary year and is a means by which the local Catholic community expresses its solidarity and support for those young men involved in discernment and priestly formation.

Proceeds from this event go towards formation services, and the ongoing renovation and upkeep of our facilities. This work is especially needed after over forty years of continued use in the work of formation and education of priests serving in the Diocese of Dallas, throughout Texas and beyond. Funds from past dinners have gone to renovate the seminary chapel, refectory, and student lounge.

I thank you for your assistance in this very important work of the Church. I look forward to seeing you on October 5, 2010 at this very happy event. I remain,

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Very Rev. Michael F. Olson
Rector

At Holy Trinity Seminary the relationship with Jesus is considered the foundation for true spiritual formation and authentic discernment.

The daily celebration of the Eucharist provides nourishment for their spiritual journey. Morning and Evening Prayer in common, as well as opportunities to practice the authentic devotions of the Church, promote a lively faith. Communal times of silence on the hall foster the appreciation of quiet in the seminarian's life.

Holy Trinity Seminary is a non-profit corporation operating in the State of Texas. For over 40 years, the Seminary has been dedicated to the education and formation of priests for the Diocese of Dallas, the State of Texas and surrounding states. HTS Alumni are currently serving the Church in Dallas and all over the world, working in parishes, and in a wide variety of ministries.
