Dear Friends,

Vision For The Future, the Campaign for the Pontifical North American College, has successfully concluded. I am deeply grateful for your role in helping us to secure over $28,000,000 –well exceeding our goal of $25,000,000.

The Campaign was a monumental effort indeed. Over the past three years, our dedicated Campaign team lived and breathed this endeavor to preserve and improve the buildings and infrastructure at the North American College and to further strengthen its financial capabilities in the service of the seminarians and priests who study there. In many ways, the Campaign has brought the College to a new level of dedication to its mission. We are more committed than ever to our men’s growth in love for the Lord and for the Holy Father so that they can share that love with all the faithful whom they lead in parishes across the United States.

We would not be at this exciting point in our history if it were not for your friendship and support. On behalf of the Board of Governors and faculty and, most especially, the seminarians and priests whose lives you have touched, I sincerely thank you for believing in the future of the Pontifical North American College. We look forward to your continuing partnership and will rely on your generous prayers for our continuing success.

In the Lord,
+Edwin F. O’Brien
Chairman of the Board of Governors
Archbishop of Baltimore
