Dallas Diocese Chapter, 2023-2024 RSVP Report on Seminarian support

Worthy Officers, DDs, GKs, FNs, and Brothers (and Rev. Bishops Burns and Kelly and Fathers Paul, Zach, Vincent, Fernando, Alan, and Loyd):

I am attaching my INITIAL RSVP reports for this fraternal year concerning our Diocesan RSVP Program for seminarian support.

1- Let’s start with some old business. I received a report from Supreme (via the Texas state office) that indicates that (as of May 18, 2023) we have 60 RSVP sponsorships that have not been reported on the Form 2863. I’ve listed the Councils who haven’t reported (again, as of May 18, 2023) and the number of seminarians not reported below:

  • 830 (2)
  • 1353 (2)
  • 4370 (1)
  • 5052 (2)
  • 5211 (1)
  • 5656 (3)
  • 6065 (2)
  • 7438 (2)
  • 7850 (7)
  • 8157 (5)
  • 8954 (4)
  • 9337 (2)
  • 9903 (2)
  • 10245 (3)
  • 11169 (2)
  • 11293 (2)
  • 12153 (1)
  • 12300 (2)
  • 15033 (6)
  • 16047 (1)
  • 16202 (2)
  • 16375 (1)
  • 16665 (3)
  • 17111 (1)
  • A2799 (1)

60 unreported sponsorships means $6,000 dollars in refund money not collected. If your Council is listed above, and you haven’t submitted your Form 2863 for 2022-2023, please do so ASAP.

2- As a reminder, our Diocesan goal is to provide each of our Diocesan seminarians with at least 2 sponsors of $500.00 each (though I really think we can and should get each of our seminarians 3 checks this year!). We have 54 seminarians in formation for the Dallas Diocese this year (2 of them are new). Our secondary goal is to get all of these men at least one $500 check by October 1, and a second $500 check by January 31.

3- The process of supporting a seminarian is simple:

First, identify the seminarian(s) your Council or Assembly would like to support (and let me know which seminarians you plan to support).

Second, issue checks in the amount of $500.00 to your seminarian(s). Mail the checks to:

Father Zach Webb
Director of Seminarians
3725 Blackburn
Dallas, Texas 75219

Send me copies of the checks.

Third, once the check has cleared your bank, complete Form 2863 (to which you must attach a copy of the canceled check, front and back) and submit it to Supreme.

Fourth, collect your $100.00 refund for every check you write.

If any brother Knight would like to receive my detailed reports (Excel or PDF), please contact me.

Vivat Jesus!! Viva Cristo Rey!!
