PROVIDING SPIRITUAL COMFORT

School of Diaconal Formation

I always tell people that we are so blessed to have Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Our Church would not be what it is today if it weren’t for their formation process. The formation truly transforms us and helps us to go forth to do the work   of Christ. Saint Charles is a marvelous place that forms priests not just for local churches, but for places around the world. 

A deacon serves to spread love throughout the Church and bring the Eucharist to the people. We do this through our pastors, who give us directions on how to best minister to the people. The Holy Spirit works through us, and we are just the instruments. I’m not doing anything; I’m just standing and letting the Lord do His work through me.

The work of the clergy brings people together and provides spiritual comfort during difficult times. The Church isn’t just about making a better world for just Catholics, but all people."

-Deacon Jack Hasson

"Without your support, we would have no priests to bring love and support to our communities. As an ordained deacon, I thank you for supporting the Seminary Appeal. We could not do this without you."
