2,700 PARISHES IN THE US HAVE CLOSED SINCE 1990

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP THIS FRIGHTENING TREND.

According to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) the number one reason for the closures being cited as a shortage of Priests.

Even worse , nearly 4,000 parishes across the nation have no resident pastor. And the numbers are getting worse. The US does not have enough priests to take care of the spiritual needs of the faithful! America desperately needs more priests.

You can help reverse this crisis now.

Worldwide Seminarian Support (WSS), founded in 1993 in Portland Oregon, gathers donations of Faithful Catholics around America to fund vocations of Catholic men who are in desperate need of tuition for their seminarian education.

By donating to WSS you will empower young men on fire with the Holy Spirit to fulfill their vocation to preach the Gospel, deliver the Sacraments, and save souls!

Only with your help can they enter seminary to become ordained as God’s priests - the shepherds that will feed your children and grandchildren for generations to come.

Many other charities use only a portion of their funds to pay operating costs. With WSS 100% of the money that you donate goes towards seminarian tuition.

How can we do this?

Thanks to the generosity of our Board of Directors who fund all of the admin expenses. Our passion is to keep all the funds where they need to be, funding seminarians.

We also know that there can be a downside to donating to seminarians through Worldwide Seminarian Support - it can be impersonal. Worldwide addresses this problem in two ways:

1. When you make a donation you get to choose where it goes. We have many different seminaries that you have the power to select from, so you know exactly where your money is going.
2. As a donor you will receive a periodic newsletter. It highlights and features our beneficiaries and has photos and articles so you know you are a part of their support community.

So here is the challenge, can you step up to the plate and answer the call of Our Lord by helping these devout future priests? 

Our IRS tax identification number is 93-1154304. Your donations are tax deductible.

For less than the cost of one cup of coffee a day, you can be a significant part of the solution for these men of God in need. Fund a seminarian to the priesthood today! Donate below and ensure the Faith for future generations.
