Priests Training Fund

The motto of Allen Hall, where the men training for the ordained priesthood live and study, is Vivamus in spe – May we live in hope.

Now, more than ever, as the nation faces an unprecedented challenge and there are so many people in desperate situations across our Diocese, that hope is needed.

Our seminarians work in parishes, schools, hospitals and hospices, as well as prisons, with refugees, and anywhere where a Catholic presence can make a contribution.

In all they do, they strive to be formed in the image of Him who came not to be served, but to serve. They come from a wide range of backgrounds, countries, and religious congregations. However, despite their differences, their desire to be formed in the image of Christ unites them, and creates an even stronger bond to their faith.

We currently have 61 men in formation at Allen Hall, including 17 for Westminster Diocese. Another two are pursuing their studies in Rome. To form and educate a new priest costs £25,000 per year: that’s around £150,000 over the total course of training.

Can you help to support our seminarians in their vital mission?
