Sacred Heart Major Seminary: Fishermen's Fund

The mission of Sacred Heart Major Seminary’s Fishermen’s Fund is simple yet vital: To ensure that no vocation—no calling from God—is hindered due to financial need.

Some Sacred Heart Major Seminary students cannot fulfill their vocations to the Roman Catholic priesthood, the permanent diaconate, or lay ecclesial ministry because of a lack of funds or past educational debt. These financial hurdles could result in less vocations to serve the many needs of the faithful throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit and beyond.

Since the Fund’s founding in 2005, 409 Sacred Heart students have been blessed with scholarships from The Fishermen’s Fund. The Fund “casts a net” of support for our deserving students, the future fishermen and women of souls.

Our goal is $29,689 to fund the tuition of one seminarian for the 2025-26 academic year.
