Thank you for supporting the 2026 Deo Gratias (“Thanks be to God”) held at Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College.
The annual gala benefits Saint Joseph Seminary College, and supports our mission of preparing young men for the Roman Catholic priesthood and accompanying them in their discernment. We are grateful for your generous support. It is because you stand with us that this gala is made possible.

The first 7 students were enrolled in 1891, beginning a remarkable legacy of priestly formation. That legacy continues this Fall when we will welcome 111 seminarians from 19 dioceses and 2 religious orders to our campus. 2026 commemorates the 135th anniversary of the founding of SJSC!
-
Your patronage is far more than support for this single event, it is an investment in future priests, religious leaders, and faithful men who are preparing to serve the Church with wisdom, humility, and compassion. When you join with us in this mission, your generosity allows our seminarians to receive a rich education and formation rooted in the Benedictine values of ora et labora, prayer and work, as they grow in faith, academic excellence, and a lifelong commitment of serving God’s people.
