Supporting Your Future Priests

God continues to bless our Church with talented men of faith to lead us in love, to nourish us by His word and to renew the Church with His Sacraments. We turn to priests during the most significant times of our lives. At weddings, baptisms, anointing of the sick, funerals, and countless other moments of grace, our priests are there to guide us.

For more than 100 years, young men have discerned their call to the priesthood at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary.  We invite you to join us in support of our future priests. Each and every gift is greatly appreciated by our seminarians and by the many people who will benefit from the ministry of the future priests who are currently being formed at the Seminary. We humbly thank all those who support our Seminary community.

Please prayerfully consider making a gift online today.

Endowment

The Kenrick-Glennon Seminary General Endowment provides unrestricted monetary support for annual operations to ensure the quality of priestly formation at the Seminary. Additionally, several endowments have been created to address specific needs.

The Peter Richard Kenrick Chair of Pastoral Theology supports the annual Peter Richard Kenrick Lecture.

The Justin Cardinal Rigali Chair of Sacred Liturgy Endowment supports in the training and formation of seminarians so that, once ordained, they may promote the dignity, beauty and sound discipline of the Sacred Liturgy.  

The Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke Chair of Canon Law Endowment supports the study, training and formation of seminarians so that, once ordained, they may be prepared in their knowledge of Catholic Truth and Upholding Catholic Rights.

The Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan Chair of Church History Endowment which supports the study of Church History so our future priests are prepared in their knowledge of the history and tradition of the Universal Church.

 Faith for the Future

Faith for the Future, the first capital campaign in the history of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, was launched to improve the quality of education and living accommodations for the next generation of seminarians. Donors to the campaign have enabled the Seminary to address infrastructure concerns and building enhancements at our home in Shrewsbury and significantly increase the endowment to support the operational needs of the Seminary.
