Their stories offer a meaningful glimpse into the prayer, study, and experiences that are helping them discern God\u2019s call to the priesthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week and next, the blog will feature reflections from three of our seminarians. This week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nicholas Huegel, a parishioner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/corpuschristichurchsandwich\/\">Corpus Christi Parish in East Sandwich<\/a>, who is studying at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sjs.edu\/\">St. John\u2019s Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sean Kilty, also a parishioner of Corpus Christi Parish, who is studying at <a href=\"https:\/\/olpseminary.com\/\">Our Lady of Providence Seminary in Providence<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Noah Pollard, a parishioner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfxparish.com\/\">St. Francis Xavier Parish in Acushnet<\/a>, who is studying at Our Lady of Providence Seminary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I invite you to read their reflections and join me in praying for Nicholas, Sean, Noah, and all our seminarians as they continue to listen for God\u2019s voice and discern where He is calling them to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Sean Kilty<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first week of my discipleship begins, I reflect on the central role community life plays in priestly formation. The Program for Priestly Formation states that priestly formation is a continuation of the Apostolic community and requires a community life that mirrors the life lived by the apostles. The longer I engage in formation and enjoy the fraternity, education, and prayer life with my brother seminarians, the more I realize how accurate this description is. Throughout the year, I look forward to cookouts, tennis tournaments, and brotherly competition in board games. But I also look forward to engaging in the challenging aspects of formation with a community of men who strive for holiness. Whether in prayer or play, we truly do resemble the Apostolic fraternity that Christ lovingly instituted 2000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, I get to work more closely with Providence\u2019s homeless population, bend my mind in philosophy classes that challenge my understanding of what it means to be human, and reach new depths of spirituality I could never reach without being here in seminary. It is a true privilege to be part of the communal work, prayer, and play that have been tailored to form men into good and holy priests. Knowing this, I look forward to engaging more intentionally in areas of my life that are weak and strengthening those that are strong. Most of all, I am grateful to continue this formation with my brother seminarians and the inspired formation team at Our Lady of Providence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Nicholas Huegel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we begin another year of studies at the seminary, one thing that struck me looking back was how much can happen in such a short time. One year ago, I would have just been entering Saint John\u2019s Seminary as a new student, with little idea of what to expect, with a lot of questions, and with no small amount of anxiety about how things would turn out. What made it even more uncertain was that, for my first year, I would be entering a stage of formation that is still relatively new: the \u201cPropaedeutic\u201d stage. This additional year of seminary was added to the Program for Priestly Formation only a few years ago. It was designed to better equip seminarians living in today\u2019s world to cultivate detachment, and to focus on spiritual and human growth, before diving into more intensive studies. I remember wondering: would this extra year of spiritual focus really<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>be helpful? Was it truly needed? Well, now that I\u2019ve completed it, I can say that, in my experience, the Propaedeutic year has been a much-needed blessing. When you arrive at the seminary your first year, everything is so new it can seem overwhelming. You\u2019ve got to make the acquaintance of many new men, adjust to a new way of life with all its attendant disciplines, and all while studying material that can at times be difficult. The benefit of adding this additional year is that it helps you adjust to living in a new community, to growing as a person, but most of all, to deepening your life of prayer and growing closer to God. In a busy and distracted world, this is a rare opportunity &#8211; to be given space to slow down and put down spiritual roots. But the Propaedeutic year is not just for the purpose of making the transition to becoming a seminarian a little easier. The program is built to challenge us, to stretch our capacities, to make us earnestly reflect on who we truly are. We\u2019re also given the opportunity to engage in a variety of real-world ministries, and the experiences we receive there are valuable in helping us learn to love others as God does. At Saint John\u2019s I truly believe we have a really great program with formators who are committed to making us the best priests we can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of my time adjusting to seminary life in my first year, I\u2019ve come to see myself differently, to see prayer differently, and to see those whom we are to serve differently. These are meaningful internal changes I might not have thought were possible prior to last year. I\u2019m thankful for the challenges now, because only after some time has passed do I see the difference it made in my personal and spiritual growth. I truly feel I can enter these next stages of formation with greater confidence, and a greater connection to the men I am blessed to study with. So upon entering this new year, I find that I\u2019m filled with a greater sense of  freedom to learn, a sincere gratitude to be here, and a deeper desire to continue the work of discerning this noble call from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Noah Pollard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I begin my second year at Our Lady of Providence Seminary, I am grateful to God for the opportunity to continue discerning and preparing for the priesthood. Looking back on my first year, I am thankful for all that the Lord taught me through both the joys and challenges of seminary life. My first year gave me a better understanding of what priestly formation involves and helped me to grow not only academically, but also spiritually and personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I begin this new academic year, I am looking forward to continuing to grow in my relationship with Christ and becoming more aware of what it means to give my life in service to Him and His Church. Seminary life requires a balance of prayer, study, community, and service, and each of these areas present their own opportunities to grow. While there is certainly a lot of work ahead, I am excited to see what this next year will bring and how God will continue to form me. I am especially grateful for the prayers and support of the people of the Diocese of Fall River. The encouragement I receive from family, friends, parishioners, priests, and others reminds me that a vocation to the priesthood is never lived out alone. I ask for your continued prayers that I may remain open to God\u2019s will and faithful to His call. Please keep all of our seminarians in your prayers as we begin another year of formation and discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;No day shall erase you from the memory of time&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS-1024x492.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS-240x115.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/CNS.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pope Francis pauses in front of a display at the National 9\/11 Memorial and Museum in New York Sept. 25.

For many, the emotional wounds of that day remain: the families and friends who lost loved ones, the first responders who rushed toward unimaginable danger without hesitation, those who witnessed the horror firsthand, and all who continue to experience its lasting physical and emotional effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, I was living in Newark, New Jersey, assigned to St. Michael Parish, about nine miles from the World Trade Center, and saw thick smoke rising from both buildings that morning. What I did not realize at that time was that one of my parishioners, a husband and father to two children, was among the many victims that day. As I shared in a blog years ago, it would not be until nearly a year later that his remains would be identified and a Funeral Mass could be held. Sadly, some remains have yet to be identified. In the lower level of the September 11 Museum in New York is a large wall inscribed with, <em>No day shall erase you from the memory of time<\/em>. Behind that wall are securely stored unidentified remains awaiting technology that can properly identify them. May we never forget those lost on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join me in praying for the souls of those lost 25 years ago this Friday and all impacted by the 2001 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following prayer was prayed by both Pope Benedict XVI (on April 20, 2008) and by Pope Francis (on September 25, 2015) when each visited Ground Zero in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O God of love, compassion, and healing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>look on us, people of many different faiths and traditions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>who gather today at this site,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the scene of incredible violence and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask you in your goodness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to give eternal light and peace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to all who died here\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the heroic first-responders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>our fire fighters, police officers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>emergency service workers, and Port Authority personnel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>along with all the innocent men and women<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>who were victims of this tragedy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>simply because their work or service<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>brought them here on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask you, in your compassion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to bring healing to those<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>who, because of their presence here that day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>suffer from injuries and illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heal, too, the pain of still-grieving families<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and all who lost loved ones in this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give them strength to continue their lives with courage and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We are mindful as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of those who suffered death, injury, and loss<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>on the same day at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hearts are one with theirs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>peace in the hearts of all men and women<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and peace among the nations of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn to your way of love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>those whose hearts and minds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>are consumed with hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God of understanding,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>we seek your light and guidance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>as we confront such terrible events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant that those whose lives were spared<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>may live so that the lives lost here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>may not have been lost in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Comfort and console us,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>strengthen us in hope,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and give us the wisdom and courage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to work tirelessly for a world<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>where true peace and love reign<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>among nations and in the hearts of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Bishop da Cunha shares reflections from three diocesan seminarians as they continue their journeys of formation and discernment.
