You can support priests bringing Christ to the faithful, who live in poor regions, by offering a Mass.

There are many priests around the world who celebrate Holy Mass and keep the Faith alive in their communities, but yet live in poverty. Making a Mass offering is a way to support priests in poor countries. Your donation helps to sustain them and the priest, as a way of acknowledgment, celebrates a Mass in your intention.

Your Mass offering not only helps them, but also it is a way to boost up their work of mercy among vulnerable and needy people.

All Mass intentions are regularly celebrated by the priests who are living in mission areas.

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE OVER 413.000 PRIESTS AROUND THE WORLD IN 2019

1.378.635

Masses were celebrated last year.

“My brother James is ill, so I decided to order a daily Mass for his healing. It is comforting to know that there is a missionary priest out there in the world celebrating a Holy Mass for my brother every day. We can do a lot with a small act of love.”
José Albert,
Volunteer and benefactor.

For some priests, Mass stipends are the only source of income.

Most of the priests not only use Mass stipends for their own subsistence, but are also able to cover some costs of their pastoral activities with them. In this way, Mass stipends are intended to secure the immediate livelihood of priests and their parishes. As a basic principle, 100% of the Mass stipends are forwarded to the intended recipients.


With Mass stipends, we support the livelihoods of thousands of priests worldwide
