For over 400 years, San Jose Major Seminary has formed hundreds of Filipino priests for ministry in the dioceses all over the Philippines. This diocesan seminary aims at forming men of virtue, learning, spirit, and service– agents of renewal of the Church and society in the Philippines. Some of our more distinguished alumni include Most Rev. Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, D.D., Most Rev. Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, D.D, and Most Rev. Orlando Cardinal Quevedo, D.D.
San Jose Major Seminary is in need of financial help at this time. Traditional fund sources have been drying up alarmingly. We are asking your help to build up the seminary’s endowment fund, and support its important work of training and forming the young priests who will eventually run our parishes and may someday play key roles in the Philippine Church. The Jesuits through the leadership of composer Fr. Arnel Aquino, S.J. are holding a benefit concert entitled, “Himig Heswita Sings for San Jose” with the special participation of Cardinal Tagle himself. This will be held on Saturday, August 23 and on Sunday, August 31, 7:00 p.m. at Leong Hall inside the Ateneo de Manila campus. Tickets are at P5,000 and P3,000 and P1,000. For ticket sale and reservation, please contact the San Jose Fundraising Office at 426-6091 (TL) or +63 999 759-2465 (SMART) or (GLOBE). You may also email sanjosedevelopmentoffice@gmail.com.
“Tend my sheep,” says the Lord (John 21:16). But who shall look after the shepherds? We hope you can take this rare chance to help form priests who will help bring Jesus to many souls. When you tend the shepherd, you tend the sheep. Thank you very much. May God bless you and your loved ones.
