#GivingTuesday

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

This year, the Diocese of Laredo's #GivingTuesday campaign will benefit our aspirants/seminarians.

Please #supportfuturepriests. Click here to donate! 

Contributions will directly benefit each seminarian whose annual tuition and books cost the Diocese of Laredo more than $35,000 a semester. Aspirants at Casa Guadalupe will also benefit from the opportunity to live in a spiritual community, learn first hand about the life of a priest and the blessings which come from pastoral ministry.

A Giving Station will be set up at Casa Guadalupe, the Diocese of Laredo’s House of Discernment located at 2302 Corpus Christi St., Laredo, Texas 78043. On Tuesday, November 29th between 11 am and 2 pm., the public is invited to visit Casa Guadalupe, make a donation and meet the young men who are discerning their vocation. Refreshments will be served.

Another important way to support vocations is contributing time to prayer for seminarians and aspirants. Starting on Sunday, November 20, 2016, the Diocese of Laredo invites you to participate in 9 days of prayer for Priestly Vocations leading to Giving Tuesday on November 29th. #prayitforward
