Support “Our Seminarians” Month has Begun — How can you help?

1. září 2026 · 1 min čtení

CHICAGO, IL [DOM] — The annual “Support Our Seminarians” month in the Diocese of the Midwest has begun with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Daniel of Chicago and the Diocese of the Midwest, who calls upon the faithful to support the diocesan seminarians.

In an effort to build awareness of our seminarians’ needs, SOS flyers are available for downloading and distribution in all parishes during the month of September. All donations from parishes as well as individuals — culminating in “SOS Sunday” on September 27 — will be distributed directly to the seminarians to offset the cost of their educational and living expenses.

Regardless of how a parish chooses to raise SOS funds, the result will help ensure that our seminarians and their families will find some measure of “relief” from increasing living and educational expenses.

Individuals are encouraged to donate through their parishes, by mailing a check to the diocese, or online .

Hannah Hall

Our parish always puts the SOS flyers right by the candle stand so folks see them every week. I’ll drop a check in the collection on the 27th—those seminarians have enough on their plates without worrying about rent. Anyone know how many we have studying this year?

Grace Bennett

Our parish stuck the flyers up by the candle stand too, just like Hannah’s. I usually mail a cheque straight to the diocese address on the 27th so it gets there quick. Does anyone know if they’re still short on housing help this year?

Nicholas Turner

Our parish did the same with the flyers near the candles. I mailed my check last year too but switched to the online option this time since it's faster. No idea on the housing situation though—anyone from the diocese office chime in?
