Membership
A membership in the St. John Paul II Shepherd’s Guild will continue to strengthen the culture of vocations in the Diocese of Fort Worth through the following:
- Spiritual Opportunities: Generosity of prayer is an important way to deepen our faith and foster vocations. Join Guild members in daily prayer for our seminarians and at prayer events held across the Diocese.
- Educational Opportunities: Be an ambassador for vocations in our Diocese as you learn about the Program of Priestly Formation at Shepherd’s Guild events with Bishop Olson and the Seminarians.
- Financial Support for Seminarians: Financially support the education and formation of our Seminarians as they continue to discern their vocation to the priesthood.

I belong to the St. John Paul II Shepherd's Guild because it allows me to actively support future priests. Prayers for more priests are even more powerful when accompanied by financial contributions that help fund seminarian education. With the Catholic population growing and many current priests nearing retirement, the need for new priests is higher than ever. I genuinely enjoy meeting these remarkable seminarians several times each year and witnessing how they respond to God's call.
