The Burse Club was founded by Archbishop Toolen in 1953. Its purpose was to establish permanent scholarships for the education of men for the priesthood from the Archdiocese of Mobile.
The expense of educating seminarians is at an all-time high, and we are blessed with 14 seminarians in the Archdiocese of Mobile, including four from our parish.
Burse Club dues were $12 in 1953. The equivalent today is $115, which is a suggested donation amount, but no amount is too small or too large. Please support our seminarians with a donation to the Burse Club this weekend!
