Educational Fund

Educational Fund

When you support the Province of St. Mary, you support our educational efforts with our youth, families, and friars. A recently released report found that the Catholic Church is ordaining only 35-45% of the priests necessary to maintain the levels that the church currently has.

Burses 

Also known as named funds, these are excellent ways to honor a special family member, a Capuchin, or mark an occasion. After they have been established with an initial contribution, burses can be added to at your convenience. Burses are used to fund the recruitment, education and training of Capuchin Franciscans for a lifetime of service.

You can make a donation today to help support our education funds or directly support a Capuchin Burse by contacting Sister Elizabeth Fortune at (212) 564-0759, ext. 261.
