KENRICK-GLENNON SEMINARY PROUDLY PRESENTS CONVIVIUM 2014 Dear Friends, Welcome to Convivium 2014! It is such a joy to be with you this evening. Convivium is a true celebration of our seminarians and an affirmation that hundreds of people believe in and support their vocations. We are honored to have you as part of our community! Our seminarians are learning to fall in love with God and abide in His love. In turn, they will spread this love to the faithful in the Archdiocese of St. Louis and other dioceses around the nation.

Your financial and prayerful support will help make this experience possible. I hope that you have a wonderful evening at Convivium.

PURCHASE INFORMATION The bank will open at 9:00 P.M. The bank is located in the back of the dining room. Successful bidders will receive pink bid slips delivered to their table by a seminarian. The pink sheet is to notify you that you do have an item which must be paid for at the Bank (except for “Express Pay”) BEFORE you pick up your item. The bank will pull all bid sheets from your bid number file and tally your bid sheets for payment. Cash, check or credit card (MasterCard, Visa and Discover) will be accepted for payment. After payment has been received by the bank, the bank will mark your bid sheets “Paid.” You will need to present your “Paid” bid sheets to the seminarians who will then assist you in getting your item to your car. All sales are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds by Kenrick-Glennon Seminary or its donors unless specifically stated. All goods and services purchased at this Convivium dinner auction shall be used at the sole risk of the purchaser. Kenrick-Glennon Seminary shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or injury occurring to any user of auction-purchased goods and/or services. All items are sold “as is” and Kenrick-Glennon Seminary makes no warranty or guarantee as to the merchantability or suitability of any such item. Merchandise and certificates may not be returned to the donor for exchange or refund unless noted in the program description. Donors of Silent Auction items are listed together in this catalog as donated items may be combined. Other donors are listed under the specific item donated. The Convivium Committee has been diligent in striving for accuracy in the Program. Please forgive any mistakes or omissions. EXPRESS PAY Avoid Long Lines at the Bank! Express Pay allows you to prepay for the items you will purchase and avoid the long line at the bank at the end of the evening. You may register for Express Pay in the lobby at the beginning of the evening. Register your credit card for the evening. MasterCard, Visa or Discover will be accepted. Your credit card will be imprinted and you will sign the charge slip. You will be given a “P” label to be affixed in front of your bid number on your auction book.

For ease in identifying “Express Pay” guests, please use a “P” in front of your bid number when bidding. Example: write P147. Seminarians will deliver to your table a pink copy of the bid sheet for each item you have won.

TAX INFORMATION Kenrick-Glennon Seminary is a tax-exempt charitable organization described in Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). Guests are encouraged to seek the advice of their tax advisors as to the accuracy of the information which is being provided and the tax consequences of their financial participation in Convivium. The Auction Committee believes that $60 per ticket is a reasonable estimate of the fair market value of the dinner, drinks and services provided. When a guest purchases an auction item for a price greater than the amount reflected as the fair market value listed on the paid receipt, they may claim the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value as a charitable contribution. When a guest purchases an item for a price that is less than or equal to a value listed on their paid receipt, the transaction is regarded as simply a purchase - not a charitable contribution - and no portion of the purchase price qualifies as a charitable contribution. All cash gifts to Kenrick-Glennon Seminary qualify as charitable contributions as long as the donor receives no direct benefit in return. The Seminary will make every effort to provide an acknowledgement for cash and noncash gifts.

Without the noise of the crowds, I could take the time to contemplate this profound mystery of Jesus dying for the forgiveness of our sins in this very place expecting nothing in return except our love.” Father David Hogan, Archdiocese of St. Louis “Traveling to the Holy Land was an awesome experience! Praying in the places where our Lord prayed and in the places where the greatest events of our redemption took place really is an experience beyond words. The highlight of my journey was praying very early in the morning in front of Calvary–I will never forget that experience.” Father Yoelvis Gonzalez, Diocese of Memphis “Seeing the holy sites, seeing the landscape, touching the holy places, and taking in the culture – all these things will impact the way I preach and teach.

Hidden snags, shifting sandbars and dangerous currents were only a few of the ever present obstacles to navigation. At night, all hazards were greatly magnified. On occasion, pilots would find themselves only a few miles from the next landing after sundown. In order to navigate through any menacing areas, the crew would test and mark the channel for safe passage using a technique they referred to as EATING UP THE LIGHTS".

Weekly intentions are posted online at www.kenrick.edu/prayer. Each month, the list of intentions is updated for the upcoming weeks. Please remember our intentions in your daily prayers. “Behind and before every vocation to the priesthood or the consecrated life, there is always the strong and intense prayer of someone: a grandmother, a grandfather, a mother, a father, a community.” ~Pope Francis Advent Novena We invite you to join our seminarians for nine evenings of prayer and worship as we prepare our hearts and minds for the joy and splendor of Christmas. The Advent Novena will take place at the Seminary in the Chapel of St. Joseph in the evenings between December 2nd and December 10th. Open House Would you like to take a tour of the seminary? Come visit our campus between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. on February 15th. During our Open House, you will meet your future priests, learn more about seminary life, and tour the renovated seminary. All are welcome! Save the Date Make sure to save the date for the 2015 Convivium that will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2015. We’ll be moving to a larger venue at the Four Seasons in downtown St. Louis. Planned Giving After years of faithful support, you may wish to plan a gift to Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, legally titled the St. Louis Roman Catholic Theological Seminary, as a personal legacy. When you share God’s blessings with the seminary, you share those blessings with our future priests and all those they will benefit from their priestly ministry. Please ensure that your commitment to our Church extends beyond your lifetime by making a planned gift to the seminary. For more information about planned giving, contact Development Director Kate Guyol at (314) 792-7435 or at [email protected]. About Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Founded in 1818, our seminary has a rich living history as a place of faith, learning and fraternity. Kenrick-Glennon Seminary serves many dioceses and several religious orders and continues a rich heritage of philosophical, theological, and priestly pastoral service while cognizant of the challenges of contemporary evangelization. Our seminary is comprised of Kenrick School of Theology, a four-year graduate program that prepares men for ordination to the priesthood; a two-year Pre-Theology program; and Cardinal Glennon College, a four-year undergraduate program that prepares men for ordination studies.

Follow us at @kenrickglennon. To conclude the evening, please join our seminarians in singing the Salve Regina. Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria Thank You For Supporting Our Future Priests! www.kenrick.edu @kenrickglennon
