A Day in the Life of a Catholic Seminarian
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Inspired by prayer, and created as my first video, my hope is that through this "day in the life" film, you can see that seminary is an incredible place to be formed into a priest. There is no place like here to be transformed into a reflection of Christ Himself.
Filmed at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, FL

Hi to whoever’s reading this I’m fourteen and a catechumen in the Catholic Church with atheist parents, please pray for me as I finish my 2 year conversion this Easter Vigil! But please also pray for my parents that they return to Christs true church I even have a testimony, I wanted to become Jewish about 16 months into my conversion and I almost went through with it but every time I stepped into the synagogue I felt the urge to pray the Jesus Prayer, than I started getting dreams of the church and I knew I had to return, I went to my RCIC director but because I missed 3 lessons I would have to wait until 2025 (that’s not happening anymore) but with the help of the grace of God I got approved to be received this Easter Vigil and I’m so excited, Glory to God!!!
God bless all the seminarians. We NEED you. God will give you abundant grace to stay the course. Please pray for me and my family.
God bless us all with many holy seminarians and priests.Amen.
Keep it going Rev. I decided to go to confession. Somehow felt as I watch this
Im also a devotee of rosary 💖
And feel calm everytime i watch all the videos of seminarian and priesthood 💖💖💖
Mark, thank you for this glimpse into your seminary days, it is enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring. Well done! You continue to be in my intentions for your discernment.
Thanks be to God. God bless you, dear brother.
Seems to be a great atmosphere there but then again a big number of people create that. Here in St Patricks Maynooth Ireland a much older place with stone staircases up to some floors. Steeped in tradition of course and beautiful also. Have not got your beautiful weather....... Nice to watch!
I like the vibe of jacob he is genuine to games and answering your question
God bless you all 💖💖💖
Im 13 and I hope one day im in seminary to become a priest. If God wills it
May God bless your holy intention to become a very good priest
When I 13 I just remember playing video games.
❤❤❤
I'm not a catholic.nor a good Christian ...but i actually respect a priest being single and childless....I think it gives them focus and not distracted by family obligations!!
Although not the entire Catholic Church requires its clergy to be celibate (those of the Eastern Churches allow married clergy), it has been the tradition in the West to be celibate. This follows the Apostle Paul who said he preferred that they not marry like him. In a way, the celibacy of the clergy gives them a freedom that only the philosophers dreamed of: not having to deal with the matters of the domestic family, they can give their lives to study, prayer, and community.
It is against the nature of humans to not experience intimacy with others. It is so ingrained in the human psyche that if denied, leads to many psychological concerns. Celibacy is problematic for most humans, even if they don’t realize it. Centuries of abuse, depression, alcoholism and shattered lives follow this Catholic idealism. This is one reason the Catholic Church is facing severe criticism from child abuse victims, the LGBT community, abused nuns, priests and societies at large. Catholic clergy has displayed astonishing ignorance of human sexuality and psychology for centuries. The number of lives damaged by bizarre sexual phobias, ignorance and the elevation of mandatory celibacy is incalculable.
@@donaldbush1182You know most of the abuse that happened was by definition gay rape, because most persons that were abused were post pubescent boys. And in fact due to the opening of society to homosexuality, these persons don’t have to hide anymore in priesthood
Giving thanks for your vocation. I enjoyed the video.
1. Great song choice
2. LOVE IT! Miss you mark I’m glad to see you’re doing awesome!!!

i'm riccardo, i saw your video. greeting from Italy
I will give it a chance I think we must confront our fears!
nice to see the guitar aspirations are going strong
Awesome video. You should totally receive on the tongue. God bless you. How's the homework load in general and what year is the hardest?
saya dulu pernah bermimpi ingin menjadi seminari karena cara hidup yang nyaman dan tenteram, karena dekat pada Tuhan. Tapi mimpi itu tidak pernah kesampaian. Tuhan memberkati anda semua.
It makes me laugh when you used the banana as a mike to interview one of your brother hahaha 💖
Good vibes 😊
All kidding aside, this is great content!
Im a new subscriber here 💖
all my homies love seminarian mark
I’m sorry, I refuse to believe that the average day in the life of Mark Piendl doesn’t include at least pushups and a protein shake. At least the beast quenches his athletic thirst by surely scoring a hat trick in the seminarian soccer match.
I am more on the gym rat side. There are 2 types of seminarians. The rough and tough. When they visit our parish will use our guest pass at the gyms and lift like crazy. Then you have the nerds. They talk a different language
Great vid!!
Hello Mark,
Will you be talking about replying to questions about becoming a priest?
Kindly can Mark please update us about the possibility of joining his seminary?
Hi! Merry Christmas 🎄
Are you still accepting seminarian in your Diocese? ☺️🙏
6pm dinner time? This is crazy!
Only need to get my Bishops approval and I'll be a seminarian next year. Been watching lots of "day in the life of a seminarian" and it's always morning prayer at 6:45. I'm a morning person anyways but is it the same for all seminaries or is it maybe because every video I've seen is from the US?
Depends on the seminary. I just started PreTheology I and Morning Prayer is at 6:30AM Mass folllows.
hello blessings when the semesters begin at the Vicente de paul seminary in boyton beach I am interested in knowing when classes start and when many end
Do you actually have written tests on these subjects or do you just listen and learn?
What happens if you fail a class??..
Unlike some of the weird American semenaries, this one looks like fun
Where are your other videos?
@Markpiendel how best can I get admitted to your seminary for formation please?
Kindly equipe me. Thanks
You're right rather.
this dope mark
Thought he would get up later in seminary. Seems like I stand corrected, heck ya mark!
I repent on my sins and I will consider all options.
Did I see banana for microphone? 😆🤣😁🤐🤭🤭🤭🤭
I guess it isn't great to generalize. Like I said sorry I have an eschewed view of what a priest is. Particularly having experienced a repressed abusive Catholic background. I was never a great athlete nor a leader. I think it's because I don't have leadership ability. My mind is always on relationships with women's. Because I had an absent father. So I tend to rationalize. I should study coaching. Every woman should. So they don't join the fraternity.
Why do you need pickup lines in seminary? Sus
I always tell the married ladies. Hey u can do so much better then that guy ?
Sorry if I'm attacking you. Father's. I think I'm just jealous of the free food, free faith and free friends and drinks and free room and board. I pay rent to my gambling addicted parents
I do not believe that God loves me, because that I am a Gay man
if we think that god create everything on this planet then he create you too, so he must love what he create
Bro. You know how God wants us to have sex only between husband and wife. Many men suffer with attraction to minors, same sex, multiple partners. Just try to live according to God’s law. It is not easy. But he will help. You will be so blessed
