Friends, you might recognize my name from the books Fr. Ken Brighenti and I have written (e.g., Catholicism for Dummies) or have seen our TV shows (Web of Faith & Catholic Blitz) on EWTN, or listened to my weekly radio show (Open Line Monday).
Help sponsor a seminarian to attend a pilgrimage to Florence and Rome during spring break (Feb. 23 - Mar. 3) Your generous gift will provide a 50% scholarship which they truly need. Total cost for each man is $3,150 (air, land, meals, etc.) but with your help, each seminarian will only have to pay $1,575/person. We will be visiting the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (il Duomo), the World War II American Military Cemetery, Michelangelo's David, Tower of Pisa, and major basilicas, churches, shrines, and museums in Rome.
I am one of the priests who teach at the seminary and am the chaplain for this pilgrimage. It is a great experience and blessing for our men to visit in person these awesome treasures of our Catholic patrimony. They study and pray during the school year and these breaks allow them to see the universality and heritage of our Church. If you can donate enough for one, two, or more seminarians, we will remember you at our Masses and in our prayers during the entire pilgrimage. God bless you and Mary keep you.
