Seed Gifts
Boniface Wimmer planted the seeds that still yield fruit here and throughout the United States. In his memory, these “seed” gifts will help the people we serve in our monastic apostolates. This is a direct way that the Wimmer Fund honors and continues his bold and deep belief that anything is possible in the name of Christ.
A portion of what is raised is given to one of Saint Vincent’s apostolates to help start, continue, or grow a ministry. Funds go to either Saint Vincent College; Saint Vincent Seminary; Benedictine Military High School in Savannah, Georgia; hospital work, or to our mission work abroad.
