WELCOME

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 29th Annual Convivium Dinner Auction! It is good
to be together again and to reconnect in-person. We missed you!

Thank you for joining us for this celebration of priestly formation. I
am happy to see new and familiar friends in the room this evening!
I encourage you to get to know our seminarians tonight and learn
about the good work God is doing in their lives. They are eager to
get to know you, too.

Your support tonight and throughout the year helps to provide a
solid formation for these men as they discern the call to the
priesthood and prepare to serve you and your families as parish
priests. Thank you for your support.

Please be assured of my prayers and those of the seminary
community for you and your families.

In Christ,

Father James Mason
President-Rector

   Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to the glory of God the
 Father, we seek each seminarian’s configuration to the Heart of Jesus
  Christ, High Priest and Shepherd, so that he can shepherd whole-
                heartedly with Christ’s pastoral charity.

TAX INFORMATION

Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is a tax-exempt charitable organization
described in Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). Guests are
encouraged to seek the advice of their tax advisors as to the
accuracy of the information provided and the tax consequences of
their financial participation in the Convivium Dinner Auction.

 •   The Auction Committee believes that $100 per ticket is a
     reasonable estimate of the fair market value of the dinner,
     drinks, and additional items provided.

 •   The Internal Revenue Service does not regard the purchase of
     a raffle ticket(s) to constitute a charitable contribution. In
     consequence, no portion of the purchase price qualifies as a
     charitable contribution.

 •   When a guest purchases an auction item for a price greater
     than the amount reflected as the fair market value listed on
     the paid receipt, he or she may claim the difference between
     the purchase price and the fair market value as a charitable
     contribution.

 •   When a guest purchases an item for a price that is less than or
     equal to the fair market value listed on the paid receipt, the
     transaction is regarded as simply a purchase - not a charitable
     contribution - and no portion of the purchase price qualifies as
     a charitable contribution.

 •   All cash donations to Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, including
     gifts through the Fund-a-Need, qualify as charitable
     contributions as long as the donor receives no direct benefit in
     return. The Seminary will make every effort to provide an
     acknowledgement for cash and non-cash gifts.

FUND-A-NEED

              Biblical Archaeology in the Holy Land

For nearly a decade, deacons in their last year of formation at
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary have traveled to the Holy Land. Last
year, the trip was canceled due to the pandemic. Thanks be to God,
plans to travel this year are underway!

This January, deacons - and many of the newly ordained alumni-
priests who were unable to go last year - will travel to the Holy Land
with Fr. Charles Samson, Associate Professor of Biblical Theology.
He will guide the men on a three-week study of archaeology and
theology where the Gospels themselves took place. Fr. Samson’s
capacity to integrate theology, pilgrimage, and archaeology will
deeply influence the way the men can, as priests, grow in the love of
their priesthood and minister as Christ to their parish families.

Your generosity in the 2020
Fund-A-Need laid the
groundwork for this year’s
expanded trip. Yet, additional
funds are needed to cover the
entire experience, considering the
additional expenses required to
bring both priests and deacons.

We hope that you will be generous in underwriting the Holy
Land experience for the Classes of 2021 and 2022.

Please raise your bid number for the level you wish to pledge during
the Fund-a-Need.

If you wish to make a private gift, you may do so on the mobile
bidding site or by visiting the Help Desk. Please also notify the
Help Desk if you intend to donate through your private foundation
or donor-advised fund.
Your donation to the Fund-a-Need helps provide airfare, hotel
accommodations, meals, tickets to numerous archaeological sites,
and more.

Note: At this time, travel in Israel is re-opening after the pandemic
shutdown. If new restrictions are imposed, the feasibility of this trip will
be reevaluated. However, the seminary is committed to providing this
experience for our deacons and priests. The newly ordained priests will
participate if their parish and personal schedule allows. This opportunity
is significant for them, as they will be able to offer Mass in the sacred
places.

         Thank you for your support of our seminarians!

Only 100 tickets are available,

ABOUT FR. KAPAUN
Fr. Emil J. Kapaun attended Kenrick Seminary from 1936 - 1940. After
serving as a parish priest in Pilsen, Kansas, Fr. Kapaun joined the U.S.
Army as a military chaplain. In 1950, Fr. Kapaun was ordered to Korea
where he was later captured and held in a prison camp. During seven
months in captivity, Fr. Kapaun ministered to his fellow POWs. Fr. Kapaun
died on May 23, 1951 at the prison camp.

In 1993, Fr. Kapaun was named a “Servant of God,” the first step toward
possible canonization. The Vatican is now examining possible miracles
attributed to the intercession of Fr. Kapaun. He is also being considered for
the designation of “martyr.”

Fr. Kapaun was known for his holiness and remembered for his humility,
bravery, constancy, love, and kindness. He serves as an inspiration to our
seminarians.

Promotional items are generously sponsored by the Serra Club of St. Louis.

FROM THE HERALD MAGAZINE
Speaking the Language of Life
By Cesar Gomez-Cerventes, Theology II – Kansas City in KS

Last October, I was asked by a classmate to serve as a translator for
a pregnant woman considering an abortion. My brother
seminarians were praying the holy rosary outside an abortion
facility, as they do each week. They were trying to have a
conversation with this woman and her partner as they were entering
the facility. However, the couple did not speak any English. Despite
the seminarians’ efforts, the woman entered the facility for an
abortion. The seminarians stayed outside, praying the rosary for her.
Suddenly, the couple left the facility. The seminarians asked, “What
happened to your appointment?” The woman shared that for some
reason, she was not registered in the system and had to reschedule
her appointment. After conversing with her, my brother
seminarians and others from the 40 Days for Life group.

One of the seminarians called me and asked if I was willing to be a
translator for this woman so that she could better communicate
with the pregnancy center staff. I accepted immediately. On the way
there, I called my sister, who is a counselor, and asked her for
suggestions on how to speak empathetically with the woman, and
thus, be able to also save the life of the baby. My sister simply told
me, “Stop thinking and start praying. The Holy Spirit will guide
you.” I thank God that He used my sister to dispose my heart for
this encounter…
