Adopt A Seminarian

 What:    Parishioners “adopt” a Phoenix Diocese seminarian
 When:   October 2020 – May 2021
 Why:     To support our seminarians with prayers, cards, care packages, and/or      letters

PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS:

1.  Be current with the Safe Environment program for each year you are adopting a seminarian.  Send letters, cards, and/or care packages 2-3 times a year, to your assigned seminarian.

2. Please remember you are giving them unconditional support through letters/cards without expecting anything in return.  (They
   greatly appreciate your letters and prayers, but please know that they may not respond more than once a year, due to their heavy study load.)
    
3. Gift cards or cash may be sent, but it is not to exceed $25.00.  (Suggested gift cards: Walmart, Target, Amazon, and restaurants in their city.  The cash and Walmart/Target cards help them to cover the costs of extra things they need to buy, such school supplies, hygiene products, and black socks.  They use the Amazon cards to purchase needed books.)

Their mid-school and summer break times are very limited and are reserved for time with their family and diocesan-required activities.  Please do not ask them to visit you during their school breaks; it would possibly put them in an awkward position of having to say no, due to their busy schedules. If they offer, then that is acceptable.
