According to the pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need , just at Sts. Peter and Paul Seminary alone, the number of candidates for the priesthood rose from 254 in the 2019-2020 academic year to 281 in 2024-2025. Despite the tragic cases, the rector emphasized that it has been diligent vocations work that has had a profound impact on the increase in candidates for the priesthood. He pointed out that the simplicity of life in Burkina Faso is ideal for young men to seriously consider consecrating their lives to the service of the Lord and his Church.

Finally, he emphasized the great value of forming future priests to be apostles of fraternity and unity, especially in a context such as that of Burkina Faso, where before the terrorist attacks, the minority Catholic community had no problem with the majority Muslim population.
