Clergy & Seminarian Support
Your financial gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal helps ensure that our seminarians are formed well and that they become holy men with a love for Jesus Christ and His Church.
Your gifts also provide care for retired priests who have dedicated their lives in service to the Church. Retired priests continue their ministry by supporting the needs of parishes throughout the Diocese, celebrating many daily and Sunday Masses.
How your funds help Clergy & Seminarian Support
Your support impacts the lives of those living throughout Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania and enables us to continue to serve the needs of others. Any contribution you are able to make to the Catholic Ministries Appeal will truly make a difference.

Rev. William A. Asinari, Newly Ordained Priest
There is an intense investment in us and we don’t forget it and we don’t not notice it. It’s humbling that people would give that to us – people that they might not have ever met.
Jan Carlo Perez, Seminarian, Saint Matthew Parish, East Stroudsburg
I want to be an example to people. I want to help people. I want to serve people. I want to be holy and I want to help lead people into deeper union with Christ in the Eucharist especially.
