In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with Isaac Heard, a young man preparing to enter the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Massachusetts. Isaac shares his powerful faith journey, the call he experienced to the priesthood, and what ultimately led him to choose the Marian Fathers—a religious order deeply devoted to spreading the Divine Mercy message and devotion to Mary Immaculate.

We dive into the difference between diocesan priests and religious order priests, exploring the unique charisms and mission of each vocation. Isaac opens up about why he felt drawn to the Marian Fathers, their mission of evangelization, and their deep devotion to Our Lady.

But before Isaac can begin his formation, he needs your help. Because of the his financial obligations, Isaac must fundraise in order to enter seminary. If you feel called to support his journey to the priesthood, please prayerfully consider donating to help him take this next step toward serving the Church as a Marian Father. And if you can’t support financially, please keep him in your prayers!
