The St. Jogues Seminarian Project Application
Description
The St. Jogues Seminarian Project is an intentionally crafted program designed to address the Church's growing need to nurture priestly hearts devoted to the service of Christ. Drawing inspiration from St. Isaac Jogues, the heroic priest martyr of the North American wilderness, the project strives to support vocation directors and seminary formators in cultivating men who are strong, humble, and prayerful—a potent force for Christ in America. Through leadership training, personal development in the backcountry, and practical opportunities for ministry, COR aims to develop physical endurance, intentional brotherhood, mental tenacity, and experiences that facilitate human formation. With the St. Jogues Seminarian Project COR hopes to contribute to the Church by helping to prepare seminarians to embrace the daily self-sacrifice of priesthood.
