Fr. Hubert (Hugh) Wade, Jr. was ordained a priest by Bishop Carroll T. Dozier on May 14, 1977, in Norfolk, VA. He came to serve in the Diocese of San Angelo in 1984, serving in the following parishes: St. Patrick Parish - Brady, St. Francis Xavier Mission - Melvin, and St. Francis of Assisi Parish - Abilene. His last assignment was for 20 years at St. Mary, Star of the Sea Parish - Ballinger, Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission - Robert Lee, St. James Mission – Bronte, before retiring on July 25, 2016. Fr. Hugh dedicated his life to his priestly ministry and brought joy and light to all of the communities he served.
At the end of his life, Fr. Wade requested that donations be made in his memory to the Diocesan Seminarian Burse. Even through his death, Fr. Hugh wanted to give back to our diocese and support the education and formation of our seminarians for generations to come. The Diocese of San Angelo has established the Rev. Hubert (Hugh) Wade, Jr. Seminarian Burse Memorial Fund for the faithful to honor and remember Fr. Hugh's ministry through donations.
The Seminarian Burse is a permanent fund separate from the Diocese of San Angelo operating budget. The sole intention of this endowment is to provide a perpetual source of funding for seminarian formation. The principal amount of the gift remains intact and is invested for long-term growth. The income from the Burse will support the cost of forming seminarians for our diocese. What can be accomplished or funded by the Seminarian Burse is directly related to its size.
