WHAT IS WEEF?

WEEF is the "Westminster Ecclesiastical Education Fund" and exists to fund the training of priests for the diocese.

The WEEF pays for the running of Allen Hall seminary, and also pays for those Westminster students who are sent to other seminaries.

SUPPORT US BY YOUR PRAYERS

The Lord told us to ask him to provide labourers for his harvest, and the recent increase in young men coming forward to discern a vocation to the priesthood is surely due to the renewed emphasis on prayer for vocations.

Please remember the seminarians and the work of the seminary in your prayers.

 

Almighty God, bless those preparing for the priesthood at Allen Hall, and all those involved in the life of the seminary. May they discern your will in their lives; may they grow in faith, hope and love; and may they lead others to know Christ and to grow in holiness.

We pray especially that you will call many people to the priesthood and consecrated life in our Diocese, and that you will give them the courage they need to answer your call.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Thomas More... pray for us.

Martyrs of Douai... pray for us.

Thank you for your prayers

SUPPORT US FINANCIALLY

There are a number of ways you can contribute to the fund for the training of priests for our diocese.

Each year the fourth Sunday of Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday, is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. A second collection is taken up in parishes across the diocese. This is the main source of income for the WEEF, which pays for Allen Hall.
