2022 Vocations Fundraiser
This year our Council’s Vocations fundraiser will once again be a virtual event. This fundraiser will conclude on Monday, October 17, 2022.
The Council will be donating $2,000 to each of three Seminarians to help defray the cost of their seminary education, thus our fund-raising goal is $6,000. Two of our Seminarians are currently attending St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach Florida and our newest Seminarian is attending St. Charles Borromeo seminary Philadelphia, PA, which is the same seminary that our beloved Monsignor Ed Thompson attended. Click on Supporting Seminarians to read about our newest Seminarian, Nicholas Couture and to see updates on our two other Seminarians.
You can donate online, via a text message or by mailing in a check. You can also donate to some raffle ticket items and make a bid on some silent auction items. Click on 2022 Vocations Fundraiser for more details and to view and donate to the items.
