In a world that seems increasingly reluctant to take risks, the challenge of a lifelong commitment to serve God and God’s people is daunting. But those who enter seminary know that they are supported by family and friends in their home diocese.
Priests are called to live simple lives but high-quality training comes at a price. On average the Archdiocese of Cardiff invests £189,000 in the formation of each seminarian over seven years. Yet following ordination a priest may give back more than 40 or 50-years’ service, so the investment brings a considerable return.
Can you help?
Investing in the education of priests ensures that future generations will enjoy the support and guidance of a parish priest. We ask our friends, and those who share our vision for a world transformed by Jesus Christ, to consider how they might be able to help.

Alternatively, you can donate at your parish during the annual collection where Gift Aid envelopes will be provided.
Your generosity and prayers make this possible. Thank you.
And remember, if you are unable to help us now, please consider remembering the Archdiocese in your Will. You can find information by clicking here.
