Support Our Youth Seminary Programs

ADOPT A SEMINARIAN

This project is a unique opportunity to support the next generation of educators and spiritual leaders in the Piarist Fathers Province of the United States and Puerto Rico.

The Piarist charism is simple but profound: they believe that the transformation of society begins with the education of the poor. However, the cost of the 7-10 years of formation traing required for a seminarian is significant.

 

Why this project is different:

High Multiplier: One priest will go on to impact thousands of students over his lifetime.

Direct Support: Contributions go directly toward the essential needs (tuition, room, and board) of men who have committed their lives to service.

A Lasting Legacy: You are participating in a 400-year-old tradition of literacy and faith.

1. We are currently looking for partners to help support our seminarians, Br. Pedro, Br. Jafet, Br. Ernesto continue their studies this year. Your tax-deductible gift is more than a donation—it is an investment in a child’s classroom years from now.

2. Support the mission now! Click the donate now button on the top right of the page and click on Adopt A Seminarian.

Thank you for your time and your generosity.
