Getting to know one of our summer seminarians, Tim Reither.
If you have seen this young man walking around and wondered who he is, well wonder no longer. Tim Reither is a Diocesan seminarian who came to us from Elk Mound, WI by way of Rome in March. His kindness and willingness to help will be greatly missed when he goes back to Rome in August. Please keep Tim in your prayers as he completes his final year before becoming a Diocese of LaCrosse Priest in June 2021.
