On March 16 & 17, the Archdiocese of New Orleans will host a very important second collection to raise funds to offset the costs of educating seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary and St. Joseph Seminary College. All funds collected will go directly to supporting the education and formation of the 22 men currently studying to be priests in the Archdiocese. The annual cost to fund a single seminarian is $45,000, and this total is one of the largest budgetary items in the Archdiocese. Please continue to pray for these men and those who work with them on their priestly formation. Please give generously to this very important fund that will provide monetary support to those men who will minister to the people of God in New Orleans for many years to come.
