Nick, the answer t...Hello everyone, it's Kevin. Nick, the answer to your question is $4,800 which covers the cost of room & board, a Latin and French tutor, etc. On top of the $4,800, I also have to pay monthly for my own health insurance. Because I cannot work during formation and my parents can only do so much, I have to fundraise.<br /><br />Titus, people can write the checks directly to the ICKSP if they would like. The address is: 408 Seymour Street, Wausau, Wisconsin 54403. The only problem with this method is that if someone donated and did not mention what they wanted their money used for (e.g., helping me out), the Institute would receive the money and use it as they saw fit. Regarding taxes, I can definitely see how it would help the donor on their taxes but I am fairly confident it would not help me out on mine.

I...How much does tuition cost per year? Total? <br /><br />I'm personally very skeptical and saddened by some of the outrageous price tags I've seen on some religious formation costs. The Dominicans in my area have an annual appeal where they try to argue that it costs like $40k or something outrageous like that per seminarian. <br /><br />When the Business Model has been foisted upon Catholic practices, that's a sure way to block progress and the blessing of the Holy Spirit. It's plain that tuition for forming our religious should be minimal, especially considering nobody had such money back in the day (nor even today in places like Africa where they can run a whole seminary for probably $10k per year).
