The San Lorenzo Foundation, founded in 1984, is a registered nonprofit California Corporation with a board of 12 directors, that includes an executive director. It holds monthly meetings with the Guardian of San Lorenzo and his staff to coordinate the volunteer and fundraising activities at San Lorenzo Seminary.
In accordance with its by-laws, the Foundation is the legal entity that administers the support of the Seminary and the volunteer efforts. Volunteers are called the "Friends of San Lorenzo." Our Friends and Volunteers demonstrate their support through donations of time, gifts and money to the Foundation and organize the annual fundraising gala under a lay chairperson. Held in September of each year, our Friends and Volunteers from all over California participate in the fundraiser. Many faiths and denominations are represented. In addition, the Foundation assists as needed in hosting other events to help the friars at the Seminary. Mission Statement

This past year the San Lorenzo Seminary Corporation undertook a complete remodel of the cemetery. It is now completed and it looks really Beautiful! Please click here to go to the 2024 Cemetery Pictures page to see the construction and completed job. To complement what the Corporation accomplished, and as our Gala Bellringer, the San Lorenzo Foundation has decided to continue with the brick walkway of the cemetery to encompass the 14 Stations of the Way of the Cross. You can see from the pictures that the old Way of the Cross Walkway is in need of repair/replacement. If you are not able to attend the Gala, you can help us raise the funds necessary to complete this project. The estimated cost for this project is $55,000. We have already raised $20,000 from a very generous donor. This leaves $35,000 to raise. Please consider a donation for this project.
