Our Belleville Diocese is currently blessed with five (5) seminarians.  Meeting the needs of their formation -- tuition, books, room and board and other expenses --  is approximately $47,000 per year for each seminarian.  Your contribution to seminarian education is truly an investment in our faith and the life of the Church here in southern Illinois.
