Seminarian Education Endowment

Donations to the Seminarian Education Endowment are invested in the Diocese of Crookston Catholic Community Foundation. Gifts are not spent, but rather invested (according to Catholic social principles) and the interest is used to fund the tuition, books, room and board and travel expenses of our seminarians.

The Director of the Office of Vocations is Father Michael Arey, who oversees the formation of our seminarians. He oversees events and cultivates community among those discerning a vocation. Carol Gwin, Executive Assistant to Bishop Andrew Cozzens, also serves as the Administrative Assistant for the Office of Vocations. She can be contacted at the Pastoral Center at 218-281-4533 ext. 416.

A parish or individual may begin a new named burse with a suggested minimum gift of $1000.00 and continue to fund the burse at any time and in any amount.  New gifts are published in Our Northland Diocese newspaper on a quarterly basis.

Thank you for your interest in supporting the discernment and formation of our seminarians.  Please enjoy our Seminarian Education Endowment Brochure.
