The Diocese of Antsirabe runs a center where new vocations from 34 different congregations receive instruction and training for four days a week. Currently there are 82 postulants and 60 novices, both male and female. The advantage of their shared formation lies not only in the fact that the members of the various different religious communities can get to know one another better and so work together more effectively in the future, but also in the fact that it allows for the pooling of financial and human resources.
And so, in order that these young men and women who wish to serve God in the religious life can really become the "salt of the earth" that Jesus spoke of in the Gospel, ACN is supporting their formation with a contribution of $7,000. Will you join in the religious formation of these future Sisters in Madagascar?
At a discernment retreat for both men and women sponsored by the Missionaries and Sisters of the Precious Blood, participants listen to Father James Seibert, C.PP.S. speak about the religious orders’ history.

During Mass for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew on Oct. 9, 2022, the Diocese honored in a special way the sacred vocation of marriage as Bishop David Walkowiak celebrated the annual Wedding Anniversary Mass. Among the congregation and our online and TV Mass viewership were couples celebrating milestone anniversaries this year from parishes throughout the 11-county diocese. The liturgy included a blessing for married couples. A reception at Cathedral Square Center was held following the Mass.
