| SPA Sponsorship |
The SPA in England and Wales offers a sponsorship scheme for five seminaries.
Donors who wish to provide the subsidy of £500 per year for a seminarian’s final four years of study become sponsors. Sponsors are given the name of a seminarian and asked to pray for him, and he for them.
They may also correspond if they wish. Parishes and individuals are encouraged to take on the sponsorship of a seminarian as part of their Advent or Lenten programme.
Contributions to the SPA are allocated to seminaries in mission dioceses throughout the world according to need, with help offered to each seminary according to the number of students. This system of allocating funds helps ensure that aid is distributed fairly and that those who are most desperately in need receive enough support.
