Here is HOW you can SUPPORT the Lanteri Oblate Seminary:

TRAINING AND SUSTENANCE OF SEMINARIANS:   SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS

Sponsorship of a Seminarian can be  full or partial:

• Full Sponsorship  covers the  Tuition Fees, and the Room and Board.
• Partial sponsorship   means  a  donor’s contribution of any part of  the total cost of  training a seminarian as regard either  school fees   and/or Room and Board.

  MODE of CONTRIBUTION: WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS,  HOW CAN I SUPPORT?

1.  You can  offer a sponsorship to  one or more seminarians,  for either a part of his training or throughout the entire duration of his training for the Catholic priesthood and Religious Life.

2.  Sponsors can contribute  periodically (e.g., either monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually) to the training and  sustenance   of the Seminarian. 

3.  We welcome a personal or individual  contributions and donations towards the  training and  sustenance of a seminarian.

4.    Co-sponsorship: Two or more persons,  or  a family, a parish, or an  association or organization of Catholic inspiration (operating at any level, e.g. at parish, Diocesan) can jointly sponsor the training of  Seminarian.

       As regards points 3 and 4 above, the name of the prospective sponsor(s)  will  be made known (to the candidate concerned) by the Seminary authorities at an appropriate time(e.g. on the occasion of his Final Religious Profession/ priestly  ordination), or otherwise remain anonymous, depending on the preference of the  Sponsor(s) himself or herself.    

5. A benefactor may simply give a tithe, that is, a certain percentage (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 10% or more)  of  his/her (monthly) income to the needs and  projects of  the Lanteri Oblate Seminary.  

6.  Financial contributions may   be made  in parts until the amount pledged by the sponsor  is completed.  

7. Contributions or donations can be in cash or in kind (material gifts).

8. If so desired, the  sponsorship can be given  in memory or in  honor of a loved relative or friend (alive or deceased) or of a Saint,  or indeed as a contribution toward a specific good cause in church or society. Please let us know the name of the person/Saint  or of the Cause for which you make the contribution. 

9. Individuals can form an  associate group to jointly give support our  Seminarians and priests in their training (Formation) and apostolate.
