Building a culture
of vocations in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe

Join us in financially supporting men discerning the priesthood.

Group of Archdiocese Seminarians

Directly impact the future of the Church.

The Archdiocese of Santa Fe faces a critical shortage of priests.

Without your support, our community risks losing the spiritual guidance, leadership, and sacramental availability which are essential to our Catholic faith.

A critical moment.

In the next 15 years, 53 priests in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe will retire, leaving a critical need for new vocations. Many challenges can make a young man hesitate to pursue priesthood, but financial hardship should never be one of them. The Annual Catholic Appeal provides essential funding for tuition, books, room, and board, but it doesn’t cover everything. CCRV bridges this gap with stipends for living expenses, transportation, and other essential needs.

Since 2020, CCRV has helped seminarians focus on their formation by easing financial burdens. With your support, seminarians can dedicate themselves fully to discerning their calling and preparing for a lifetime of service.

Your generous gift of $50 per month can increase stipends for seminarians, helping create a thriving culture of vocations. When we reach our goal of 100 donors, we’ll expand our support to meet other critical needs identified by the Office of Vocations.

Every dollar you donate is maximized for the greatest impact, ensuring that your generosity directly supports the seminarians and their formation.

Your impact. Our mission.

Every dollar you donate is intentionally allocated to ensure the greatest impact, directly supporting seminarians and their formation. While the Annual Catholic Appeal provides essential funding for tuition, room, and board, there are critical expenses it does not cover.

This is where CCRV makes a difference. Through your contributions, we provide monthly stipends to help ease financial burdens so seminarians can focus fully on discerning their calling.

Your generosity empowers seminarians today and helps lay the foundation for a thriving culture of vocations within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Together, we’re ensuring the spiritual heart of our community remains strong for generations to come.

Catholic Club for Religious Vocations

Since its inception in 2020, the Catholic Club for Religious Vocations (CCRV) has provided essential financial support to seminarians in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. The Annual Catholic Appeal covers core expenses like tuition and room and board, but CCRV addresses unmet needs like living expenses and travel assistance. 

Over time, CCRV has expanded its mission beyond financial aid, partnering with the Office of Vocations to foster a vibrant culture of vocations. From retreats and workshops to awareness events and educational resources, CCRV is nurturing a dynamic environment where individuals are inspired to explore their calling, whether to priesthood, religious life, or Holy Matrimony.

This broader approach reflects our deep commitment to not only meet immediate needs but also to lay a foundation for a spiritually rich future for the Church, benefitting clergy, religious, and lay people alike. 

By collaborating closely with the Office of Vocations, we aim to create a sustainable and impactful legacy, ensuring that the Archdiocese of Santa Fe remains a beacon of faith and leadership for generations to come.
