V8s for Vocations, Gallup, New Mexico;
All proceeds support the education and formation of seminarians who will return and serve in the Diocese of Gallup, the poorest in the United States. The Diocese of Gallup serves predominantly Native American and Hispanic populations across New Mexico and Arizona. Due to persistent financial difficulties, it does not own a seminary, and thus is obliged to send seminarians to another state or overseas, ensuring that future priests receive the education they deserve. This effort is a costly one, and creative projects such as the V8s for Vocations allow the Diocese to keep fostering vocations for the future of the Catholic Church.
The V8s program is a community effort of active and retired professional mechanics and car enthusiasts who have generously agreed to donate their time and efforts toward the restoration.
V8s For Vocations is managed by a non-profit 501 c 3 organization. Gifts are tax deductible.
