2024 Vocations Fundraiser
Welcome to our Council’s Vocations virual fundraiser, our fifth annual event. This fundraiser will end on Friday, October 31, 2025. The Council will be donating $2,000 to each of three Seminarians to help defray the cost of their seminary education, thus our fundraising goal is $6,000.
Our 3 Seminarians are Joshua Theisen, Nicholas Couture and Peter Kay. We asked each Seminarian to send us an update on their studies and activities. Throughout the fundraiser, this information will be added to our Supporting Seminarians page. Check out this page for informaition on our Seminarians.
You can donate online or by mailing in a check. You can also donate to some raffle ticket items and make a bid on some silent auction items - see below.
