There are many ways to make a gift to the Josephinum. Whether you decide to make a gift today or to plan a gift for the future, we are indebted to you for your prayers and support and humbled by your faith in our mission. Your generosity is a gift to the seminarians who have embarked on the exciting journey of preparing to become tomorrow’s shepherds.
These donations are critical to our mission of forming seminarians who seek holiness – men who want to be saints and bring others to holiness. Thank you for supporting our seminarians as they are formed in the House of Joseph.
If you prefer to write a personal check, please make it payable to “Pontifical College Josephinum” and mail to:
Very Reverend Steven P. Beseau

These gifts allow the Josephinum to develop an operating budget that is timely, realistic, and achievable.
Recurring gifts that equate to $1,500 or more annually qualify for invitation to our Rector’s Circle.
Any amount up to a maximum of $100,000 per year may be given tax-free from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the Josephinum. It is very important that the gift from your IRA comes directly to the Josephinum to ensure tax deductibility. This popular gift option is also called the “IRA charitable rollover” or “qualified charitable distribution (QCD).”
Why Consider This Gift?
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or 401(k) plan/403(b) plan can also be transferred at death. You, as the donor, must fill out a beneficiary designation form with your plan’s administrator. Check with your financial planner on the tax consequences with retirement plan assets.
