Brothers,

Mt. Angel Seminary has reached out for additional support for their seminarians.  This is a program where councils donate $500 to sponsor a seminarian This is a very important charity.  We all know that we are experiencing a shortage of priests and this is the lifeblood of our faith.  

I know our council can't afford to sponsor a seminarian on its own.  I'd like to throw it out to all the brothers to help me in this endeavor.  I will make a pledge to make up any difference between the requested $500 and whatever anyone wants to donate.  There is a some time sensitivity here.  I would like to get donations or pledges by the end of April.  We'll figure out the logistics but the main thing is to make sure we support our future priests!

Vivat Jesus,

Chris Darwin
