Seminarian Gift Card Program

Our Seminarians have little or no earning power during their years of formation, but they still have personal expenses.  Whether their need is gas to travel to parish assignments, an unexpected car repair, or maybe just a pair of black socks to get through the week, they can use a helping hand.  Your assistance in helping them to meet their everyday expenses that occur is a great sign of your support for their generous response to God’s call, affirming them in their desire to dedicate their lives to Christ and serve the faithful of the Archdiocese of Hartford.

The Seminarian Christmas Gift Card Program is a way to assist these men in meeting their everyday expenses.  In general, the program asks parishioners to purchase gift cards which can be used for general purposes (e.g., Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.) along with a personalized Christmas card for a designated Seminarian.  The cards are returned to the Parish office for distribution to the Office of Vocations and Seminarians. 

If you would like to participate in this program, envelopes are available in the sacristy or see Deacon Jim for an envelope with detailed instructions and the deadlines associated with your gifts.  If you have any questions, please contact Deacon Jim at dcn.tanguay@aohct.org.
