OUR MISSION
Funding Vocations With V8s
The mission of V8’s for Vocations is to support the education and formation of seminarians for the Diocese of Gallup by mobilizing Catholic community, craftsmanship, and generosity through the restoration and raffle of classic V8 vehicles, helping ensure a strong future of priestly service for the Church.
Proceeds from the program primarily support the growing costs of tuition, housing, healthcare, insurance, and travel of seminarians outside the diocese, while also supporting the costs to run the program including building and buying raffle cars.
God willing, these men will return from seminary to be ordained and serve the communities inside the 55,000 square miles of the diocese that stretch across Northeast Arizona and Northwest New Mexico, a predominantly Native American and Hispanic population. Every new diocesan priest we gain is a true blessing.
We are grateful to everyone who donates, volunteers, and purchases even a single raffle ticket. You are a vital part of helping the Foundation and the Diocese to foster vocations and give them the opportunity to honestly discern their calling without the burden of paying the high costs associated with the Seminary.
Please keep them and us in your prayers!!
Our Seminarians
Mitchell Brown Ordained to the Priesthood
Introibo ad altare Dei – I will enter into the altar of God.
On June 9, the Rev. Mitchell Brown became the latest seminarian to be ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Gallup.
V8s for Vocations has been the project that supported Fr. Brown all the way through his seminary years, and will continue to do so when he returns to Rome to further his studies.
