Our Court Projects

Our court sponsors a variety of service projects, including those described below. To support our projects, we hold a variety of fundraisers and bake sales throughout the year.   

Adopt-A-Seminarian Program

Individual Seminarians studying at Mt. Angel Seminary, as well as women studying at various houses in Oregon, are assigned to local Catholic Daughters’ Courts. Each Court is asked to pray for and support their assigned Seminarians and/or Sisters throughout the year. In addition to prayers and letters of encouragement, the Court may send items to the individuals. The Seminarians also appreciate receiving mail from us. Send your words of encouragement or a special prayer request!

 

Our Court is also involved in the annual Seminarian Benefit Dinner and the May 1st Seminarian Cookie Day, when our Court members travel to Mt. Angel to have lunch with our seminarians and a tour of the Seminary. We also send gifts of money to help our Seminarians with their cost of tuition, books, dorm life, health care, and other basic needs.​

Our 5 Seminarians

​Five seminarians have been assigned to our Court. Most of the seminarians are enrolled at Mt. Angel Seminary to study to become priests. They come from various places around the country.

Carmelite Sisters - at The Carmel of Maria Regina

If your budget allows and you would like to make a donation to the Carmelites, any help is greatly appreciated. Donations of cash or gift cards to Winco are always needed. Their mailing address is:
