The Institute for Priestly Formation (IPF) Summer Program is a transformative six-week experience that helps seminarians deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ while preparing for a lifetime of joyful priestly ministry. Through daily prayer, spiritual direction, an eight-day silent retreat, the sacraments, and authentic Christian community, participants are formed spiritually, humanly, and pastorally in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. The program equips future priests with the habits, resilience, and interior foundation needed to serve God's people with compassion, fidelity, and hope. Your support of this Fund-a-Seminarian will enable seminarians from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary to participate in this life-changing experience, ensuring they receive the formation needed to become holy and faithful priests for generations to come.
