A seminary burse is a permanent fund set aside to provide income for the education and training of future priests.
The principal amount of the fund is never spent but invested, with the interest used each year for education expenses of those men studying for the priesthood for the Diocese of Lake Charles. Since the principal is never touched, this fund is truly a "gift that will give forever." Donations made to any seminary burse will continue to support the education of seminarians in perpetuity.
Seminary burses can be established in honor or memory of a loved one, in the name of especially well-loved priests (there are a number of these types of burses already established) or an organization with any amount of money. Contirubtions may be added to current burses at any time.
Checks made payable to The Diocese of Lake Charles should be sent to Rev. Msgr. Daniel Torres, V.G., Diocese of Lake Charles, P.O. Box 3223, Lake Charles, LA 70602-3223 along with a description of the donor’s wishes for the naming of the burse. Please also note in the memo portion of your check that the gift is for a seminary burse. A list of burses is provided below for your benefit.
If you would like further information on seminary burses, please call Monsignor Torres at 337-439-7400, Ext. 220 or e-mail him at
