Nick and Lucy Panza Donate Car for Seminary Use. . .
      Items from "Christmas Wish List" purchased

Nick and Lucy Panza heard that Holy Trinity Seminary needed a car as part of "Msgr. Duca's Christmas Wish List" in 2007. When they recently won a new car at a Catholic Auction, they decided to give it to their son, Paul Panza, who then decided to donate HIS beautiful 2004 Honda Civic to the seminary. Nick and Lucy then brought Paul's car out to seminary on April 9 and presented it to Bishop-Elect Duca. What a surprise!

HTS Seminarians will now be able to use it for their practicums at hospitals and nursing homes throughout the metroplex and for a variety of other seminary events--such as travel to the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral.

We deeply appreciate everyone who has given items for the Wish List! (See more pictures below)   

Bishop-Elect Duca was all smiles ready for a "spin around the seminary."

More Wish List Items Purchased

This spring, we've been purchasing items from the Wish List and started sprucing up the visitor suites with new linens and fixtures. (See pictures below) Vocation Directors, visiting dignitaries, or family members use the suites (when available) during their stay at Holy Trinity Seminary. 

Many much-needed kitchen items were also purchased that will save time and money while preparing meals for our seminarians each day.
