KENRICK-GLENNON SEMINARY PROUDLY PRESENTS THE 29th ANNUAL CONVIVIUM DINNER AUCTION Celebrating Priestly Formation
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!
SILENT AUCTION Bidding will be open from 7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 5th until 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, November 6th.

Visit the mobile bidding site: www.bidpal.net/convivium2021 2. Find the item using the search bar or menu. 3. Select the item. 4. Press bid. 5. Confirm bid.

GOLDEN TICKET Purchase a Golden Ticket at $100 each. At the beginning of the Oral Auction, one Golden Ticket will be drawn at random. The winner will be able to choose one of the Oral Auction items marked with a gold star on the following page. Tickets are sold by seminarians at the Help Desk. Each ticket purchase includes a Tiny Saints® keychain of Fr. Emil Kapaun and a holy card with the painting below. The winner must be present at the time of the drawing. Only 100 tickets are available, so your chance of winning is high! 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.
