On Aug. 6, 2026, the seminarians of the Diocese of Raleigh convened ahead of their return to formation at their seminaries. They joined Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama and Father Michael Schuetz, director of the Office of Vocations, at St. Francis of Assisi’s chapel for their annual group photo and headshots. While they were there, each took a few minutes to introduce himself, share part of his vocation journey and a fun fact, such as a place where he’d like to visit. Tune in and pray for the seminarians!
