About The Seminarian Education Endowment Fund (SEEF)
This Endowment is a growing fund to support the education of seminarians.
The Seminarian Education Endowment Fund was created by donors, Bob and Laura Coleman, to support the future of our diocesan Church which they see present in our diocesan seminarians. The diocese currently has more than 50 men studying to become priests at seven seminaries in the United States and Europe.
Every year our diocese invests an average of $45,000 to educate each one of our seminarians.
As of August 2020, the value of the Seminarian Education Endowment Fund (SEEF) exceeds $2 million.
“Eventually I hope that the endowment will grow to the point of fully funding all priestly education for our diocese,” said Laura Coleman.

Why I Support SEEF... "When I discovered Adoration during RCIA, I was dazzled by the idea of Christ being so close. It is the priest who brings Christ to us.
Reading the writings of priests throughout the centuries were a great help to me on my journey. I knew I wanted to support the formation of priests after a seminarian came to my parish to talk about SEEF.
With that, I found what I was looking for. Already, I've received back more than I've given as one of the newly ordained priests in 2018 was assigned to my parish. He is a wonderful priest and that is why I support SEEF." - Amy, Parishioner, St. Leo the Great Catholic Church
