Priest Training Fund Collection – Vocations – Next weekend

Webmaster • April 20, 2024

Today as we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, there will be a second collection for the Archdiocesan Priest Training Fund. In addition to your prayers for vocations, we ask you to support the Priest Training Fund for which there will be a second collection at all Masses this weekend. The Archdiocese invests around £189,000 on the formation of each seminarian over a period of seven years.


Every donation to support this work makes a difference. We have one seminarian who is to be ordained a priest later this year and another who is beginning formation in September. Those who pay tax can gift-aid their donation to the Priests’ Training Fund by completing the information on the envelopes provided. Alternatively, you can donate online at


 www.rcadc.org/priesttraining-fund


or send a cheque to Priests’ Training Fund, Archbishop’s House, 41/43 Cathedral Road, Cardiff, CF11 9HD.
