Bomb-proof and scarcity-proof future priests
The great majority of young men who today are in formation in the seminaries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe know that a bomb-proof priesthood awaits them, one that will be subject to shortages, injustice and persecution. For this reason, it is essential that these young men receive an excellent integral formation that will provide them with solidity and firmness in times of tribulation, so that they will know how to accompany and serve their people with courage and mercy.
How important it is for them to know that they are supported by generous people like you all along the path of their vocation. Only in this way will it be possible to ensure that no priestly vocation is lost for lack of financial means. Thanks to you, more seminarians in the world will become pastors, living images of Jesus Christ, in places of tremendous poverty, violence, war and religious persecution.
They need you to train them to become the best shepherds in places of great difficulty.
Can you help us support them?

Means of transportation
A motorcycle, a boat, a bicycle, even a donkey, sometimes become indispensable means to bring the Word of God to the most remote places. Future priests need vehicles for their pastoral work from the seminary: visiting the sick, caring for families without resources, caring for the elderly who live alone, teaching catechism, among others.
Training and sustainment
Every vocation must be carefully cared for, especially in the most disadvantaged countries. This involves meeting the costs of housing and living expenses during their stay in the seminary; providing scholarships and formation aids; supporting instructors and financing courses and spiritual retreats for their spiritual formation and pastoral commitment.
Construction
Future priests must have decent facilities and living conditions for their academic and spiritual formation. Seminaries have to face the reconstruction and maintenance of their buildings and the fitting out of rooms, which always implies a high cost that the center cannot afford.
