Your gift will support seminarians from the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis who will attend the Institute for Priestly Formation (IPF) Summer Program for Diocesan Seminarians in Omaha, Nebraska.

Throughout the eight-week session, they will be immersed in spiritual direction, an eight-day silent retreat, and classes on prayer and priestly identity. Their time at IPF will provide an excellent foundation and complement to their formal studies at the seminary.  

The Archdiocese covers half of the expense of this program, but the seminarians are asked to help raise $3,000 - $5,000.   
​ Please prayerfully consider supporting our seminarians.  If you are are interested in helping, click on the button above to donate!

I already donate to the seminary, how is this different?

The Catholic Services Appeal is a broad fundraising appeal that includes support for  room and board for college seminarians and room and board and tuition at the major seminary for archdiocesan men. 
​
Donating directly to The Saint Paul Seminary helps fund its mission of providing integrated, Catholic formation for those called to serve as priests, deacons, or lay leaders in the local Church, that is not covered by any other revenue source, such as tuition, etc. 

  The IPF Summer Program is a spiritual formation program that is an excellent foundation and compliment to their formal studies at the seminary.   
​
It is sponsored through the Archdiocesan
​Office of Vocations.
