"Sacred Heart Major Seminary's Fishermen's Fund, established and supported by the laity, exists to ensure that no vocation to the Roman Catholic priesthood, diaconate or lay ministry is hindered due to financial need."
The goal of the fund is two-fold.
First, it aims to inform Catholics throughout the Archdiocese about the financial hurdles that students must overcome in their decision to say yes to a vocation to serve the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Second, the fund advises all potential Sacred Heart students that financial aid is available, and that money should not stand in the way of a fruitful vocation.
If you would like to help support the education and vocation of future priests, deacons and lay ministers through the Fishermen's Fund, please Email Lynn Zelek. or call (313) 883-8779.
We're not asking you to walk on water, just that you get into the boat!
