Sponsor a Seminarian Collection

Sponsor a Seminarian

Our prayers are being answered!

Since the Archdiocese began praying the Prayer for Priestly Vocations at the end of every Mass:

• 153 young men have reached out to begin discerning a vocation to the priesthood.
• 5 new men entered seminary in 2024 — our largest class in almost 20 years.
• 11 new seminarians entered formation in 2025 — our largest class in many decades.

20+ new seminarians are projected to begin formation in 2026.

How You Can Help

St. Michael Parish will be collecting donations to help fund tuition for our seminarians. Tuition is approximately $65,000 per student each year. The Archdiocese requested that all parishes contribute at least $10,000.

Special collection envelopes will be available in the pews during January.

During all Masses the weekend of  Jan 10th and 11th,  donors giving $20 or more will receive a special bracelet as a thank-you for supporting vocations.

Your generosity helps ensure a strong and vibrant future for our Church. Thank you for supporting our future priests!
