Our mission: to help in the formation of priests, to spread their good name and to pray for vocations.

We believe that it is possible to improve people's daily lives through the integral formation of young men with a vocation to serve through the priesthood. For this reason CARF, thanks to its benefactors, contributes financially so that priests and seminarians around the world receive a solid academic, theological, human and spiritual preparation.
