There is a second envelope in your box.  This collection goes primarily towards the tuition and accommodation fees of students preparing for the priesthood, the permanent diaconate, and those lay faithful in vocational on-going formation in the Archdiocese of Armagh. We currently support 20 students for the priesthood in Maynooth, Rome, Salamanca, and at our own Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary in Dundalk, all preparing to be ordained for the Archdiocese of Armagh.
