Seminary Presentation

Earlier this year, two priests who serve as Missionaries of Mercy for our Holy Father Pope Francis traveled to San Antonio to visit with seminarians at Assumption Seminary.

During the visit, Monsignor Ted Bertagni and Father Bernard Olszewski shared the mission of Cross Catholic Outreach to transform lives and communities for the glory of God through works of mercy.

They also offered seminarians the opportunity to visit our ministry partners in developing nations during their academic year, so as to experience the suffering Christ in our world through the lives of the poorest of the poor.
