DETROIT — Our 43 men in formation for the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Detroit need the prayers and support of our Catholic community. Along with our readers, The Michigan Catholic prays for them by name, with special emphasis for Deacons Marko Djonovic (Our Lady of Albanians, Southfield), Patrick Gonyeau (St. Jude, Detroit) and James Grau (St. Michael the Archangel, Livonia), who will be ordained this coming year.

In addition to the seminarians listed below, we pray for all those discerning vocations as priests, sisters, brothers or secular members in religious orders of all forms in or from the Archdiocese of Detroit. May God be with them and guide them.
