Here is HOW you can SUPPORT the Lanteri Oblate Seminary:
TRAINING AND SUSTENANCE OF SEMINARIANS: SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS
Sponsorship of a Seminarian can be full or partial:
- Full Sponsorship covers the Tuition Fees, and the Room and Board (5, 000 dollars)
- Partial sponsorship means a donor’s contribution of any part of the total cost of training a seminarian as regard either school fees and/or Room and Board. (2, 500 dollars)
MODE of CONTRIBUTION: WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, HOW CAN I SUPPORT?
1. You can offer a sponsorship to one or more seminarians, for either a part of his training or throughout the entire duration of his training for the Catholic priesthood and Religious Life.
2. Sponsors can contribute periodically (e.g., either monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually) to the training and sustenance of the Seminarian.
3. We welcome a personal or individual contributions and donations towards the training and sustenance of a seminarian.
4. Co-sponsorship: Two or more persons, or a family, a parish, or an association or organization of Catholic inspiration (operating at any level, e.g. at parish, Diocesan) can jointly sponsor the training of Seminarian.
As regards points 3 and 4 above, the name of the prospective sponsor(s) will be made known (to the candidate concerned) by the Seminary authorities at an appropriate time(e.g. on the occasion of his Final Religious Profession/ priestly ordination), or otherwise remain anonymous, depending on the preference of the Sponsor(s) himself or herself.
5. A benefactor may simply give a tithe, that is, a certain percentage (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 10% or more) of his/her (monthly) income to the needs and projects of the Lanteri Oblate Seminary.
6. Financial contributions may be made in parts until the amount pledged by the sponsor is completed.
7. Contributions or donations can be in cash or in kind (material gifts).
8. If so desired, the sponsorship can be given in memory or in honor of a loved relative or friend (alive or deceased) or of a Saint, or indeed as a contribution toward a specific good cause in church or society. Please let us know the name of the person/Saint or of the Cause for which you make the contribution.
9. Individuals can form an associate group to jointly give support our Seminarians and priests in their training (Formation) and apostolate.
