That a solid and integral formation reaches seminarians and diocesan priests all over the world.
There are young men all over the world who have heard a deep call to pursue a vocation to the priesthood. They want to serve, to accompany, to impart the sacraments and to help their people encounter God. But many of them do not have the financial means to form themselves well, academically and humanly, at this key stage of their encounter with God.
The Pope Leo XIV recently recalled it with simplicity and profundity in his apostolic letter Loyalty that generates future: «the identity of the priests is constituted around their being for and is inseparable from its mission».
For this reason, the Church takes special care in the formation of future priests so that they may be men who are humanly, spiritually and pastorally prepared, capable of accompanying their communities and serving people where they are most needed. This is what the CARF Foundation has been doing since 1989.
In many countries around the world, there are people with a vocation to the priesthood where faith is strong, but resources are scarce. That's where your help makes a difference.

The CARF Foundation accompanies seminarians and diocesan priests from 130 countries so that they may receive the integral formation that the Church needs today and will need tomorrow. Behind each one is a story, a family, a people and an entire diocese that one day will have a priest better prepared to serve them and to form others.
With your help you are making this possible. Pope Leo XIV's dream: that formation would reach seminarians and priests all over the world. May the future of the Church be built on firm foundations, with well-prepared and dedicated people.
Make the Pope's dream come true!
Make possible the formation of those who will care for the faith and lives of millions of people around the world.
