Your Support Counts

We are grateful to have 57 seminarians in formation to be priests in Baltimore. They have courageously responded to God’s call, and desire to serve you one day as your parish priests – but they need your support now!

Reverend William E. Lori

“THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY TO OUR FUTURE PRIESTS. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT THESE MEN HAVE OPENED THEIR HEARTS TO CHRIST AND RESPONDED TO HIS CALL TO SERVE IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BALTIMORE. YOUR INVESTMENT IN THEIR FORMATION, THROUGH BOTH YOUR PRAYER AND YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, IS OF IMMEASURABLE VALUE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALWAYS FILL YOU WITH HIS LOVE.”
-MOST REVEREND WILLIAM E. LORI

There are many ways to support our men in formation! Most importantly, they rely on your prayers for them as they seek to grow in their relationship with Christ and His Church. Below are some specific ways that you can personally support these good men:

Join the Serra Club

The Serra Club of Baltimore is an organization dedicated to the support of fostering vocations in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  Members gather regularly to pray for men and women called to priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated religious life, and they also support vocations through promotional programs in the Archdiocese. Find out more information here: https://www.archbalt.org/clergy/serra-club-of-baltimore/

Spiritually “Adopt” a Seminarian

  • Choose one of our men and pray for him daily. You can find out more about each of our men on the Meet Our Seminarians page.
  • Write an encouraging card to a seminarian telling him of your prayers. All cards can be sent to the attention of that seminarian and mailed to:

OFFICE OF VOCATIONS
320 CATHEDRAL ST.
BALTIMORE MD 21201

  • Teachers – Have your class adopt a seminarian together and support him in prayer and with encouraging cards from your students. A great way to promote vocations as well!

How You Can Donate

  • Of course, we need prayer for vocations. And we also ask that you explicitly invite young men in our parishes to consider priesthood.
  • But we also need your financial assistance to reach candidates, run discernment retreats and camps, and fund our seminarians’ education.
  • Donations are tax-deductible. To discuss your donation, or if you have questions, contact the Vocation Office.
  • Mail a check to:
