Through this initiative, they managed to raise local donations that provided essential support to 40 needy families, demonstrating a commendable blend of faith in action and community service.
The “Miles for Christ” initiative not only highlights the seminary’s commitment to social welfare but also emphasizes the importance of integrating practical charity work with spiritual formation. The brothers at St John’s Seminary embarked on this mission with the dual aim of aiding those in dire need while enriching their own spiritual journey through acts of service. This hands-on approach to learning and doing has resonated deeply within the community, fostering a sense of unity and purpose among the seminarians and the people they reached out to.

By reaching out to the poor and needy, they have embodied the Christian call to love and serve one’s neighbour, making “Miles for Christ” a powerful testament to the impact of faith-driven action. The initiative has not only provided immediate relief to 40 families but has also served as an inspiring example of how young men preparing for the priesthood can engage with and positively influence their communities.
The success of “Miles for Christ” stands as a beacon of hope and an example of how collective efforts can bring about meaningful change. It is a vivid reminder of the power of compassion and the importance of reaching out to those in need. As St John’s Regional Seminary continues to nurture future leaders of the church, initiatives like these underscores the significant role that spiritual institutions can play in addressing societal challenges, making the seminary a source of light and hope in the community.
