The Friend to Seminarians is a development program that encourages individuals to provide financial support needed to educate diocesan seminarians. Individuals can become a Friend to Seminarians by making an annual gift of $5,000 or more.

The average cost of educating a seminarian for one year exceeds $20,000. Bishop Jugis hosts several dinners during the year that include presentations by some current seminarians and an invitation to invest in future priests.
