Our monthly tithe funds
the diocesan collection
for: Seminarian Education Fund
The parish tithe for
October is the diocesan collection for the education of our
seminarians. Our diocese is experiencing a positive trend with more
men exploring and answering Christ's call. We have a great
opportunity to ensure the continued quality education and formation
for our seminarians. It costs the Diocese about $600,000 annually for the
education and well being of our seminarians. This cost includes
tuition, room and board, books, retreats, insurance, and a small
living allowance.
Presently the Diocese of Covington
has 16 men studying for the priesthood.
Seminarian Studies include: • 4 years college with major in Philosophy
• 1 year pre-theology if college graduate, not majored in philosophy • 4 years theology
How you can help our seminarians:
• Pray
• Offer your friendship and support
• Provide financial support
