Message from Bp. Sanborn:

Since we have nearly completed the remodeling of our seminary building here in Reading, Pennsylvania, we are now looking forward to purchasing a church in the area. The seminary needs this in order to carry out the elaborate ceremonies which the seminarians should learn. Presently our chapel, although beautiful, is quite small, and does not allow for these ceremonies. As well, a church always attracts parishioners. So in addition to expanding our apostolate, the purchase of a church would provide a source of income for the seminary. Among the principal sources of income for the seminary are the parishes in which our priests serve, all of them alumni of this seminary. So please help us to purchase a church near us so as to serve all of the purposes which I have mentioned.
