Our goal
For each man who goes through four years of formation, The Saint Paul Seminary needs to raise $150,000. Every dollar goes directly to covering essential costs, ensuring seminarians receive the preparation they need to someday serve you, your family, your parish and your community.
Dear Friends,
Your support of seminarians is an investment in the Church's future. At The Saint Paul Seminary, we aim to form strong, faithful and joyful priests for families, parishes and communities to flourish. I am often moved by the work God is doing here and quality of men He is calling to be His priests. What a blessing! Your donation is not just a gift; it is a powerful act of faith supporting your future priests who, in the name of Jesus Christ, will consecrate the Eucharist, forgive sins and set the world on fire with the Holy Spirit. Isn't that exactly what our world needs right now? Again, thank you for your faithfulness and know that you will be remembered in our daily prayers of gratitude at the seminary.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Joseph Taphorn
Rector, The Saint Paul Seminary
"The seminarian you are is the priest you will be, therefore focus on striving for sanctity of life and becoming a 'holistic man for Christ.'" — St. Charles Borromeo, patron of seminaries and seminarians
