Helping to support priests in the world

Jesus is the high priest we needed to have: Holy, innocent, without blemish, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. Hebrews 7:26-28.

Priests need your support to continue their mission

In many parts of the world, thousands of priests dedicate their lives to the service of God and their communities in conditions of extreme poverty, religious persecution and violence, among other challenges they must face. Without their work, millions of the faithful would be left without the guidance and comfort of the sacraments. Did you know that many priests depend solely on the generosity of people like you to continue their ministry? In different countries where the Church suffers from day to day, priests do not have a fixed salary or sufficient resources to cover their basic needs. They have given up everything to serve God and now they need your help.

 

Your donation can make a difference in the life of one or more priests. Join this mission and support those who have given their lives to Christ!

Why is it important to help support priests?

1. Without priests, there are no sacraments

The priest is the one who celebrates Mass, administers the Eucharist, baptizes, confesses and accompanies the faithful in the most important moments of their lives. Without priests, communities would not be able to nourish their faith.

2. In areas of persecution, they risk their lives for the Gospel

In countries where the Church is persecuted, many priests are imprisoned, threatened or even killed for preaching the Word of God. Despite these dangers, they remain steadfast in their mission. Your help enables them to stand up and continue to evangelize.

3. In poor regions, they depend entirely on the help of the faithful

In territories such as Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, thousands of priests do not receive a salary or have the means to support themselves. With your support, they can cover basic needs such as food, housing and transportation to bring the faith to the most remote corners of the world.

4. Their work transforms lives and entire communities

Priests not only preach the Word of God, but also stand with the sick, orphans, refugees and those most in need. Their work always brings hope in the midst of suffering.

How can you help support priests?

Supporting is a gesture of love that helps the Church to remain alive in the world. You can do this by:

Monthly or one-time donations to ensure their sustenance.
Offering a Mass for your intentions or those of a loved one.
Support your formation and evangelization in vulnerable communities.

Every contribution, no matter how small, helps these servants of Christ to continue bringing the Gospel to where it is most needed.

"Most of our parishioners are today below the poverty line. Your help in these times of crisis is truly a source of motivation. I keep them in my prayers and in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice".

Elie Raad, priest in Beirut.
