For the fraternal year 2006-2007 the State Vocations/Seminarian Support Activities will focus on the Adopt A Seminarian / Prayers for Vocations as the primary state program. The other programs referenced are for council consideration.
Will be our primary focus to financially help each seminarian reach their goal of becoming a priest. A seminarian experiences the greatest need in August and January when his tuition is due. To meet this need, YOUR COUNCIL COMMITMENT OF SUPPORT IS NECESSARY EARLY INTO THE FRATERNAL YEAR.
STATE GOAL… Monetary Pledge and Funding for 100% of the seminarians throughout the Diocese in Texas by January 31, 2007. Steps to reach this goal:
FINANCIAL SUPPORT… To qualify for RSVP, the check MUST BE MADE PAYABLE
to the Seminarian and mailed to the Diocesan Vocations Director in your diocese to receive credit from
the Texas State Council and Supreme.
REFUND SUPPORT VOCATIONS PROGRAM (RSVP)… Refer to the Council Report Forms
Booklet and the Supreme / Texas State Council guidelines flyer in this section for the refund criteria.
MORAL SUPPORT… Get acquainted with your seminarian. Contact
the State Chairman for a listing of the seminarians assigned to your Diocese.
