The Crozier Society

Crozier members have the unique privilege of directly impacting the future of the Church in Western Washington through their prayers, financial assistance and loving support of our seminarians. At the same time, Crozier members interact directly with the archbishop, auxiliary bishops, seminarians and each other in an atmosphere of friendship and Christian community.

Members agree to support the archbishop and our seminarians. To facilitate this, we suggest a minimum contribution of $2,000 each fiscal year (October 1 to September 30).

Interested Catholics can fill out a membership form here.

The Crozier Society ‘s contributions are used to support men answering God’s call to the priesthood; specifically the Seminarian Education Fund.  Each year of formation (tuition, books, housing, meals, travel from school to home and back, summer assignments at local parishes and retreats) costs $52,000 for one seminarian.  Since it was founded, the Crozier Society has contributed to the ordination of over 50 new priests.  The need for your support is great as the ratio of retiring priest to newly ordained priests is 3:2.

Yes! Contributions may be made annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. Pledge reminders will be sent to you so that your gift can be paid in full by fiscal year-end.
