FRIENDS OF THE COLLEGIO

Serving the Pontificio Collegio Filippino (Rome)

Welcome to FC!

www.friendsofthecollegio.org

From this website, you may assist our Filipino Priests sent by our Bishops to pursue
further studies in the best Catholic universities in Rome, while residing and undergoing
formation at the Pontificio Collegio Filippino (Pontifical Filipino College) - close to the
Holy Father physically, spiritually and doctrinally.
Your prayers and donations will assure our Seminaries in the Philippines of a steady
supply of professors and formators trained in Rome, and will help provide Priest
specialists for the difef rent Church ministries back home after their studies.

(PICTURE: Collegio Community with Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, other Bishops, Ambassadors
Mercedes Tuason (to the Vatican) and Domingo Nolasco (to Italy), Priests, Sisters & Lay Staff)

Help build the Collegio's SCHOLARSHIP FUND, for board and lodging (around $10,000
a year per Priest), tuition fees ($5,000 a year) and health insurance ($200 a year).
Contribute to the Collegio's NEEDS IN GENERAL: operations, programs, maintenance,
renovations, etc. Note that these amounts are much lower than American standards.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila suggests a monthly love offering,
perhaps the equivalent of an hour of your salary. This way, without having to leave

your place, you volunteer an hour to help our student Priests!
Click here to DONATE ONLINE or to contact us.

FOR CHECKS, pay to: "Friends ofthe Collegio", and mail to:
