When he grows up, Patrick dreams of becoming a priest! He and his two siblings live with their parents, who work hard to support their children. His mother is a peasant farmer who grows food to feed the family, and his father is a teacher at the local school who earns a small salary – enough to provide for their basic needs.
Patrick’s parents will not be able to afford to help him finish his education and enter the seminary. He is a prayerful boy who loves learning about his faith. He will need a sponsor in order to finish school.
This is a wonderful and unique opportunity for a sponsor: to help a young boy foster his vocation to the priesthood! A sponsorship will allow him to get the years of education he needs to become eligible to enter the seminary when he grows up. A sponsor for Patrick can be assured of receiving his prayers, and the knowledge that they are making a wonderful contribution to the future of the Church!
