Support the Future of Our Faith and Ministry
The journey of a seminarian is one of deep faith, dedication, and selfless service to God and the community. These young men are called to answer Christ’s invitation to serve His people as priests, giving their lives in devotion to the sacraments, pastoral care, and spreading the message of the Gospel.
However, the path to priesthood requires not only spiritual formation but also educational and personal development that demands significant resources. Many seminarians face financial challenges that could hinder their progress. With your help, we can ensure that no worthy candidate is denied the opportunity to fulfill his calling due to a lack of funds.
