Please help an ICKSP seminarian from England!

Donation protected
Dear friends,
My name is Charles Morris. I am twenty-two years old and I am about to begin my studies for the priesthood at the seminary of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, a Society of Apostolic Life. You can learn more about our missionary institute and its charism by clicking here.
(Our community at Preston - I am on the right at the end.)
Before coming to the Institute I studied History and Ancient History for three years at the University of Exeter. It was during this time that I found the Catholic faith and received the grace of entering the Church. Having discovered the Latin Mass I began to discern a vocation to the priesthood and found the Institute of Christ the King.
Over the last year I have been discerning my vocation within the ICKSP at the house of discernment in Preston, following a daily routine of prayer, work and study. This last year of discernment has been a great blessing and thanks be to God I have been accepted to begin my first year of seminary at Gricigliano, Italy.
Here are a few photos of me from the last year:
All the priests of the Institute are trained at the Seminary of St Philip Neri at Gricigliano, where the formation takes seven years. During this time seminarians receive a thorough intellectual and human preparation to serve God and His Church as priests, but most importantly we seek to draw close to and become like Jesus Christ through a deep life of prayer.
Here you can see what a normal day at Gricigliano looks like:

Update - May 2025: Now in my fourth year of seminary, with your generous help I have managed to cover the seminary tuition fees of my first three years (€750 a month). I am hoping from now on to shift my fundraising efforts to my personal costs of living. Though we try to live with a spirit of poverty and my costs are relatively minimal, certain expenses such as insurance, travel, study materials, clothing etc. do have to be met somehow, and as a full-time seminarian I have no income. Please would you consider making a donation, however small, to help support me as I continue to prepare for the priesthood? I will be eternally grateful! It would also be a huge help if you would share this fundraiser with those you know, even if you cannot afford to donate.

Be assured of my prayers for you and may God bless and reward you!
