The College and Theology Division seminarians of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary invite the community to support them spiritually and financially as they participate in the annual Philadelphia Marathon and Half-Marathon on Sunday, November 17, 2013.

Made up of more than 20 seminarians, the "Race for Seminarians" team is running to raise financial support and awareness for the mission of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary and priestly vocations. Seminarian and Deacon Chris Christensen brought together the first team of priests, seminarians and lay people ever to participate in the Marathon.

Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary has served as the leading institution in the formation of men for the Priesthood in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and dioceses throughout the country for over 180 years. This year, approximately 150 young men have answered God's call to attend the Seminary to be formed after the heart of Jesus Christ.
