The cost to educate and train one seminarian, including tuition, health insurance, and room and board at a major seminary, can cost as much as $40,000 per year and averages $35,000 annually. The best way to support El Paso’s seminarians is through a donation to the Seminarian Education Endowment Fund. In 2017, the Foundation received donations of $166,665 from 189 families for the fund.

The Foundation supports the Seminarian Formation Program through a variety of sources including endowment, grants, and the annual appeal. In 2017, the Foundation provided $347,738 in funding to the Seminarian Formation Program which covered nearly half of the program’s expenses. Our immediate goal is to raise the Seminarian Education Endowment Fund to $5 million which will provide $200,000 in annual funding from the endowment alone.

Couple Inspired to Leave Estate Gift for St. Patrick Cathedral

Frank W. Gorman, Jr., a devout Catholic and lifelong St. Patrick Cathedral parishioner left a generous gift to the St. Patrick Cathedral Historic Preservation Fund, helping the fund reach its goal of $1 million in 2017. An endowed fund of $1 million will provide a yearly distribution of $40,000 to help preserve our beautiful century-old Cathedral, the mother church of the diocese. The campaign to establish a permanent fund for the Cathedral was initiated by Fr. Rick Matty† in 2011. Since then, more than 400 donors have given generously to the preservation fund.

Countless people can tell you about how Frank Gorman touched their lives, especially how he did things from his heart to honor God with absolutely no thought of Barbara and Frank Gorman any recognition. As a matter of fact, if you were going to put his name on something, he would refuse. This time is an exception. His children thought it was important to St. Patrick Cathedral Historical share the news of his gift because they wanted to inspire others to give. Frank’s Preservation Fund son Mike said it best, “His charity and humility paved his way to heaven.” ...if you were going Provides for the Fund reached $1 Cathedral is perpetual care million goal in Frank and his late wife, Barbara, were to put his name 100 years old married on August 25, 1947 at St. Patrick of the Cathedral 2017 Cathedaral and would have celebrated on something, he their 70th anniversary in 2017.
