Letters from The House of Jesus and Mary

9/26/23, FROM FR. GERARD LECOMTE

Dear benefactors to the Seminarian fund,

For more than twenty years you have been supporting the Eudist charism and mission of formation and discernment for young men. Two things I want to share with you now:

First, we are in need of a thriving Eudist Vocation Ministry group, composed of both lay and clergy members. The mission of this group will be helping us to conduct Days of Recollection at the HOJAM. We are looking for an active, dedicated, and creative person or persons to create and organize this ministry.

Second, thanks to Fr. Azam, we have a few serious Seminary candidates from Pakistan. Here we need help, first from your prayers and then from your financial support. One in particular, Naveed, is in need of a laptop to pursue his studies and stay in regular contact with us. Can you help us purchase one for him?

In spite of my age, I have not lost my passion and dreams to help the community through ministry and constant prayer for vocations.

St John Eudes would tell us the main thing to be afraid of is fearing too much.

I am already filled with gratitude for your commitment. You may always reach out to me at glecomte@eudistusa.org.

Fr. Gerard Lecomte, CJM
