MCCW Growing into the Future

MCCW has a bold goal over the next two years to increase our ministry programming, missionary discipleship, and grassroots outreach in all seven regions. To accomplish this funding milestone, we are launching a capital campaign to raise $100,000 by Forum 2024 to help us grow. Your gifts will enable us to broaden our regional outreach with an increased in-person presence to accompany women’s ministries at the chapel level. MCCW will also be able to develop new ministry content to align with the AMS’ focus on evangelization.

We cannot scale to provide expanded ministry offerings without additional operational funding.  In addition to our standard methods of annual appeals and designated offerings, we plan to renew our grant funding efforts. Brand new in 2022, MCCW is unveiling a beautiful opportunity to support MCCW as a sister who cares.  Your recurring gift and annual pledge to the Circle of Saints Inaugural Giving Circle will create a reliable revenue stream that gives us greater clarity for budgeting and planning purposes.

MCCW trusts that God is moving in mighty ways in the hearts and minds of our community to help us meet this goal.  We invite you to learn more about supporting MCCW and prayerfully discern how you can answer the call of the Holy Spirit today and partner with MCCW to sustain our mission for years to come in these four meaningful areas: giving circle pledges, individual giving, designated offerings, and grant funding opportunities.

The Circle of Saints giving circle is a dynamic way for MCCW’s sisters who care to join forces around the globe to impact the sustainability of MCCW through annual pledges paid in recurring monthly installments.

The commitment our donors exhibit by making a pledge gives us greater confidence in our expected yearly revenue and ultimately allows us to be wise daughters of the Church with our fiscal resources. By coming together in your shared faith, you bless us with the ability to expand our mission and ministry in all seven regions.

Monthly giving is available at multiple levels, starting with a $10/month commitment and increasing based on your personal financial capacity and interest. There’s a level for everyone in our community! Our donors receive a MCCW Circle of Saints window cling, custom Circle of Saints frameable prayer card with intentions based on their level of giving, and an annual impact update.

We invite you to join us as an inaugural Circle of Saints member in 2022.

Our Causes (Vocations)

MCCW Funds Co-Sponsored Seminarian Scholarship

Did you know that AMS chaplains serve over 1.8 million faithful Catholics? Our need for priests is great! Providing for the spiritual and sacramental needs of men and women in uniform and their families is an essential task, and priest-chaplains are in higher demand now than ever before. Christ needs men to answer the call to the chaplaincy for the good of the Church, the country, and the world. In turn, those men need our support.

MCCW actively supports our perpetual charity through fundraising and annual donations to grow our endowed Co-Sponsored Seminarian Scholarship.

Donate securely via PayPal and select a one-time gift or set up recurring gifts for vocations.

The newly endowed scholarship accomplishes so much. It connects our members from around the globe to our effort to support seminarians, unites our financial contributions for a more significant impact, and inspires future MCCW members to continue supporting our promised priests.

Net proceeds from auctions and financial contributions to our co-sponsored seminarian program support the endowed scholarship.  This program was created as a formal relationship between the AMS and cooperating U.S. dioceses and religious communities to encourage men to pursue priesthood in the U.S. military and throughout the Church by supporting vocations drawn mainly from the armed forces.

The annual cost of educating a single AMS co-sponsored seminarian is $15,000! MCCW’s goal is to cover this cost for two seminarians each year. This goal is reached through generous monthly donations, bidding participation in annual auctions, special events, and seasonal online giving drives.

A monthly pledge of as little as $10 can make a significant difference in the faith formation of our future priests. Individuals, families, and ministry groups can join our pledge program. To make a pledge today, click “Donate Now.”  Thank you for your generous donations. Together we can support our promised priests — those men called to serve both God and our military families.

Like our Facebook page to receive notifications about upcoming special events and pledge drives to support our seminarians.

The Adopt-a-Seminarian program connects current AMS seminarians and military chapel groups. The chapels provide much-needed support to their adopted seminarian through prayer, letters, and care packages. The forming of personal relationships between chapel groups and seminarians allows the seminarian to learn more about military life through regular contact with military families like those he will serve in the future.
