Dear Benefactors, Advocates & Seekers of Orthodoxy in Higher Education,

 

As mentioned in our February Update, we are (still) working on the finalized plans for the opening of the doors of the Great Vocations College of St. Athanasius.  Two years ago, we referenced the date of the Fall, 2025, for the opening.  Our plans at this time remained unchanged, but the material necessities that are pivotal to make the event successful will have to be made manifest by the end of July, 2024, or a postponement of one year will be enacted.  These necessities are being worked on and will be reported and explained on this page as soon as they are completed, so please stay tuned.

 

Our most excellent, latest news can be viewed in this link.  Praise God for the letter of blessing that we have been granted on our work from his eminence, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke.  The supernatural gift of such a blessing is a grace of inestimable worth!  It means that, along with the labor put forth in our apostolate in the natural order, the forces of Heaven have been mustered to support us, as enumerated in the names invoked by his eminence; i.e., the Providential nature of our efforts have been recognized and are being nurtured in Heaven above!  May such a blessing further inspire those of you viewing this update to generously donate to, or continue in financially sustaining us in, our cause!

 

Sincerest Regards in this great Season of Lent,

Timothy H. Bratt - Board of Directors Manager
