Building Up the Church

Your support helps fund the education of our future priests and men and women religious.

You Can Help

Your donation is an investment in the Church’s future by supporting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. You can join us in building up the Church and reclaiming the world for Christ — one gift at a time with Knights of Columbus Charities.

Many seminarians rely on financial support.
The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, has only a fraction of the chaplains it needs.
Vocations help keep the faith alive!

How Your Gift Helps

Your donation helps our future priests and religious receive the education they need.

We support vocations in the following ways:

The McGivney Military Chaplains Scholarship helps fund a new generation of much-needed Catholic chaplains to minister to U.S. military personnel and their families.
The Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP) provides moral, financial and spiritual support to our future priests and religious at all stages of their formation.
A limited number of $2,500 scholarships are given annually for tuition, room and board to men studying for the Catholic priesthood at major seminaries.

Our Impact

Supporting Seminarians and Postulants

Almost 3,500 men and women in formation for the priesthood or religious life are currently receiving financial assistance and spiritual support from Knights of Columbus councils and donors like you.

A Milestone in Giving

Since 1981, we’ve made nearly 175,000 donations and surpassed $100 million to support individual seminarians and postulants through RSVP (Refund Support Vocations Program).

Supporting Military Chaplains

$200,000 in scholarship money distributed to the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.

Providing Annual Support

Each year, the Knights of Columbus offers scholarships for tuition, room and board to almost 100 men studying for the priesthood at major seminaries.

Fostering Local Bonds

Through RSVP, seminarians and postulants stay connected with councils from their home diocese. They pray for each other, and beyond monetary support, the resulting relationships often last for years.
