Information about our perpetual charity: It is our perpetual charity to support the financial needs of young men studying to become priests, who are also promised for military service. AMS chaplains serve over 1.8 million faithful Catholics. Our need for priests is great! Providing for the spiritual and sacramental needs of men and women in uniform and their families is an essential task, and priest-chaplains are in higher demand now than ever before. Christ needs men to answer the call to the chaplaincy for the good of the Church, the country, and the world. In turn, those men need our support. MCCW actively supports our perpetual charity through fundraising and annual donations to grow our endowed Co-Sponsored Seminarian Scholarship .You can donate directly to the scholarship fund or participate in the auction that will be held April 27, 2024 at the St. Charles Borromeo Ball.
