Fulfilling My Call

School of Theological Studies

“Studying at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary has helped me learn so much more about my faith and deepened my prayer and spiritual life. As an IHM Sister and a Theology teacher at Bishop Shanahan High School, I can see how the seminary benefits all people. Not only does it enrich my life, but it enriches the lives of those who I can teach and minister. To take what I am learning at the seminary and put it into words, and help my students apply it to their own lives is fantastic.

Throughout the past several years, I had the opportunity to study with religious sisters from all over the country, lay men and women, and men preparing for the Diaconate. We are all so fortunate to have this experience and to have the seminary. We have learned so much from the wonderful priests and faculty. They are so excited about their faith and theology, and they pass that on to us through their teaching.

As an IHM Sister, our focus is on education. I feel like God has called me to be a High School Theology teacher. When you donate to the Seminary Appeal, you are helping me fulfill that call and the gift God has given to me."

– Sister Christina Marie Roberts, IHM

We are all so fortunate to have this experience & to have the seminary.
