The Labouré Society
Biography
The Labouré Society rescues Catholic vocations from the barrier of student loan debt. Through an innovative, unique, collective fundraising model, Labouré teaches our future priests and religious how to raise funds for vocations as a class of “aspirants” in order to obtain monetary awards from Labouré. Aspirants use the awards to erase or sufficiently mitigate their student loan debt, thereby freeing them to enter a seminary, convent or religious order. Without Labouré, these vocations would be lost to the Catholic Church!
