As we prepare to be a parish with seminarians, we will take on additional expectations. As such, I’d like to highlight some current needs:
- When a young man goes to the seminary for our diocese, he does not pay for the expenses of his formation. It is considered a gift from the Church and is seen as an investment in the formation of the laity. Parishes that have seminarians, therefore, are asked to contribute generously to the support of our seminarians. As such, we have created a parish Support Our Seminarians Fund and are seeking to raise $210,000 in support of our diocesan seminarians. We currently have $60,000 in the fund! Everyone is asked to contribute what they can to this fund.Please mark “Seminarian Fund” on your online giving or on the “memo” line of your check. Thank you in advance for whatever you’re able to give.
- Currently, one of our seminarians is in need of a car. Periodically, there are parishioners who have a used older car and are looking to find a new home for it. If that applies to you and you’d like to give your car to a seminarian, please reach out to me directly. Please note that this would be a direct gift to a seminarian and is not tax deductible.
