Seminarians report on their summer assignments

Friday, Aug. 15, 2025

The Intermountain Catholic asked the Diocese of Salt Lake City’s seminarians about their summer ministry. Their responses follow.

In the summer of 2025 I had the opportunity to do my assignment at Saint Thomas More Parish under the guidance of Father Adrian Komar. I was blessed to be with that community for these reasons: First, Fr. Komar gave me the opportunity to participate in every weekend and daily Mass as an altar server or reader. Second, I spend time in the parish office helping with paperwork, attending meetings and preparing books for the upcoming fall catechism classes. Third, I had the opportunity to be part of the Knights of Columbus. The main task I helped with was preparing for the yard sale they do every year, which takes a week to prepare for the sale to go well.

Overall, I learned many things in this parish, and I am thankful the Diocese of Salt Lake City sent me there this summer.
