When the Institute for Priests and Presbyterates was begun 2004, it was funded through a grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc. Through the Lilly grant, pilot programs are offered free of charge or at a minimum cost.
However, as the Institute expands to offer more programs to a growing number of dioceses, additional funding will be needed to sustain the important work of providing ongoing formation for priests. Your gift can help us accomplish that goal. An endowment has been established to provide long-term sustainability for the Institute.
For information on how to support the Institute and other important programs of Saint Meinrad Archabbey and School of Theology, visit our online giving pages. Gifts made using our online giving form can be designated for the Institute’s endowment in the “Use My Gift For:” section of the form.
