            We also have made available a list of those alumni we have been unable to locate.  On our alumni web pages you may submit articles, photographs and other news about your activities and ministry work, which we can share with other alumni and supporters.  You may be reluctant to do this, but I encourage you to keep us up to date with all your activities.  We are interested in hearing from you.  You may also wish to submit a liturgical passage or writing for our “Monthly Reflection” posted as a link on the home page of our new web site.  Furthermore, the site offers additional information about the Annual Alumni Appeal and offers an easy on-line way to contribute. 

            We are very interested in increasing the awareness across the entire Catholic community about the successes, accomplishments and activities of our alumni.  Your vocation reflects upon your alma mater and it is our responsibility to make our supporters and friends aware of all the wonderful work you are doing.  Please contribute to this effort so that we may continue to expand this recognition for the greater good of vocations and SVDP Seminary.

            I trust you have noticed our most recent editions of Dialogue, which is our quarterly magazine that emphasize news about our alumni. 

            SVDP has entered a new era which promises to increase our awareness and identity across the state.  We must utilize every available means to spread the word about the role and mission of our institution, as well as describe the fruits of our labor.  Today the web, direct mail, and other electronic media play a much larger role in engendering the support which the seminary sorely needs. You can help us accomplish these goals.

            Just as the seminary has invested time and resources which increase awareness of our presence, would you include in your parish bulletin or other widely distributed publications and/or web sites the enclosed news release about our new web site at www.svdp.edu.  We believe it will play an ever-increasing role in the future of our seminary and raise the level of awareness and education of SVDP within the Catholic community.
