Alumni Giving

Provided is a simple form to use to make a one-time or recurring donation towards renovating Phase II the Saint Joseph Seminary gym floor. 

Last year, through your generous support we successfully raised funds for the purchase of a new floor for the gymnasium built in 1951 and damaged by the flood in 2016. The high-quality cushioned flooring was installed in the late spring and promises to enhance the physical health and wellness activities conducted by the seminarians through the coming year and into the future.

For many alumni the recreational facilities, even as they were, are a meaningful part of formation at St. Ben’s. Places like the gymnasium, where physical activity promoted health, cultivated clarity, strengthened bonds of brotherhood, and restored balance, were essential to discernment. This environment at St. Ben’s continues to contribute to the integral human formation the Church calls for in priestly life. I feel this is a worthy project to support.

With your investment, we can continue transforming this cherished space. Will you help fund the second phase of our gymnasium renovation? The second phase will focus on purchasing updated equipment for the gymnasium and for wellness activities. As part of this phase, we will ask the Student Government Association to form a student ad hoc committee to provide input on what equipment to purchase to meet their needs.
