SEMINARY STUDENT JOINS US: August 26th- September 5th. Here is a little about him: “My name is Jack. I am currently a seminarian studying at Concordia Theological Seminary at Fort Wayne in the process of preparing myself for the office of holy ministry. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be able to be a summer vicar at Holy Cross, regardless of how brief my stay may be. Having been here many times before and having been warmly welcomed by the great community here, it is really such an honor to be able to intern at this amazing parish where God’s holy word and right biblical practices are held in such high regard. I am sure that I will gain valuable experiences for my two weeks here and I look forward to meeting all of you.”
