At Good Shepherd Old Catholic Theological Seminary, we believe that forming faithful and well-prepared ministers is a shared mission of the whole Church. Many young men and women feel a deep call to serve God’s people but lack the financial means to complete their formation. By sponsoring a seminarian, you are not only supporting an individual — you are strengthening the future of the Church.
Every seminarian is a seed of hope for the Body of Christ. Their education, prayer life, and pastoral preparation equip them to preach the Gospel, administer the sacraments, and serve communities across Africa and beyond.
Your generosity ensures that financial limitations never stand in the way of a sincere calling.
When you sponsor a seminarian, you directly participate in the sacred work of forming priests, deacons, teachers, and ministers who will shepherd God’s people with compassion and truth.
Your contribution is used responsibly and transparently to support the formation journey of seminarians. Funds are allocated to one or more of the following areas:
Tuition Fees: Enables seminarians to access theological courses, faculty mentorship, and academic resources essential for their training.
Course Materials: Provides books, digital learning tools, and research materials that aid their academic and spiritual growth.
Hostel and Accommodation: Ensures a safe, serene, and spiritually nurturing environment where seminarians can live in community.
Feeding and Welfare: Covers daily meals and essential welfare needs, allowing seminarians to focus fully on study and prayer.
Pastoral Formation Activities: Supports supervised ministry placements, retreats, and workshops that strengthen pastoral readiness.
Each gift, no matter the size, is an act of faith that echoes through generations of ministry.
When you decide to sponsor a seminarian, your donation is securely processed through our official church-administered donation platform.
You may choose to:
Sponsor a full year of a seminarian’s education.
Contribute to a specific area, such as tuition, course materials, or accommodation.
Make a one-time gift or set up a recurring monthly contribution.
All contributions are managed transparently, and periodic updates will be made available on the seminary’s communication channels regarding ongoing formation and the impact of support.
We uphold the highest standards of financial stewardship and ethical transparency. Every donation is tracked and used solely for the purpose designated — the formation and welfare of seminarians.
Regular audits and oversight ensure that all funds are applied effectively and responsibly in line with the seminary’s mission.
Your generosity makes an eternal difference. By helping form one minister today, you touch countless lives tomorrow — through every homily preached, every soul comforted, and every sacrament celebrated.
Together, we can ensure that no calling to serve Christ and His Church is hindered by lack of resources.
Your gift is not just financial — it is a partnership in grace, faith, and the ongoing mission of Christ in the world.
All donations and sponsorships are processed through our secure online giving platform, managed by the seminary’s parent body.
