Kansas City Has A Catholic Seminarian Crisis- They are all Becoming Priests

Kansas City-St. Joseph Bishop Robert W. Finn was celebrating the loss of seminarians that night though. "In June we lost Doug Langner," Bishop Finn said, "to priestly ordination. And in December we lost Angelo Bartulica to ordination.
"As God is good, we look forward to losing another two seminarians in May," Bishop Finn said. "And the following year, if all goes according top the plan that we would pray for and hope, we're going to lose another four seminarians to priesthood."
Bishop Finn told the crowd, "We have to replace these men... This is a dilemma we’ve prayed for and worked for
."

Great story and photo on the vocation boon in that area? Again why not everywhere :) You know the national secular media does a ton of stories on the priest shortage. How come I can't recall any every going to doing a story on what is going on here
