Who will directly benefit from gifts to the seminarian endowment?
- Our current seminarians
- Our future seminarians
- Every parishioner that those seminarians will serve as a priest
Why is it important for the Diocese to bear this cost?
Because we support our seminarians throughout discernment, they have the freedom to follow God's will without asking, "Can I afford it?" For these young men, money is not – and should not be a reason for entering the seminary or for leaving it.
How much does the Diocese spend on seminarian education?
The Diocese spends more than $1 million each year to provide room, board and tuition for these young men.
How many seminarians are in the Catholic Diocese of Wichita?
During the past 15 years priestly vocations in the Diocese of Wichita have steadily climbed.
