The concert is organized and performed entirely by seminarians. Each year, they collect a free will offering from guests and designate a charity of their choice as the beneficiary. This year, the seminarians have selected the Sisters of Saint Joseph Welcome Center in Kensington. Since March of 2003, this ministry of the Sisters of Saint Joseph has worked to address the needs and challenges facing newcomers to the community and the country by offering English language classes, citizenship preparation courses, computer skills programs, and a variety of other social services.

About Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary: Founded in 1832, the Seminary has served as a leading institution in the formation of Catholic men for the Priesthood in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and dioceses throughout the country for over 180 years.
