Dominic Galante Half Marathon Tuition Fundraiser
Greetings in Christ! Because of the cost of running a large building, feeding 85 men, and paying professors and staff a fair salary, Our Lady of Guadalupe asks each of its seminarians to pay as much as they can of $7000 a year for their continued formation. I am currently struggling to raise money for my tuition this upcoming semester, and the marathon is an event that the seminary is using to challenge us to work a little bit to raise money for our tuition. Below is a description of the event. If you donate through this page the funds will go directly to my personal tuition.
May God bless you!

Dear Friends and Family of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter,
Greetings from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary!
We write to you today in the hope that you will support us in raising funds for our continued priestly formation as we train for the Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon.
Over the last five years, we have seen a growing number of priests and seminarians at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary (OLGS) lace up for the nearby Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon. Ten men first toed the line five years ago; last year saw 17 men compete; now our numbers have jumped to 45 entrants this year – that means nearly half the seminary will be running! Our participation in this event serves not only as a means of maintaining an anima sana in corpore sano, but also stands as an important Catholic witness at the same time that it spotlights Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary and the FSSP. Will you help us raise funds to showcase these worthy causes and defray the cost of the outstanding priestly formation we are blessed to receive?
