Be a pillar of vocations!
Join the regular support of the UGCC Kyiv Seminary!
The seminary receives no government funding and is not fully maintained by the UGCC. The operation of our institution and all educational programs depends on the generosity of charitable foundations and private benefactors.
It takes 14 million UAH each year to run the seminary.
Half of this amount is provided by our partners: Aid to the Church in Need (Kirche in Not), the Conference of Catholic Bishops in America, Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA), contributions from seminarians’ parents, and other regular supporters.
The remaining half – 7 million UAH for the seminary’s daily needs and growth – can happen only with your help!
Your contribution will cover essential expenses and give future priests the education and guidance they need.
