The mission of the CARF Foundation

To pray for seminarians and diocesan priests; to spread their good name throughout the world; and to promote their integral formation.

The CARF Foundation (acronym that stands for Centro Academico Romano Fundación) promotes activities of a cultural nature, aimed at the promotion and development of the humanities in all its manifestations, and, primarily, the specific formation received by seminarians, diocesan priests and religious of the Catholic Church. 

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, the CARF Foundation, thanks to its benefactors, contributes financially so that seminarians, diocesan priests and religious from all over the world can receive a solid academic, theological, human and spiritual preparation.

5 essential keys: euthanasia vs. palliative care

The application of the euthanasia law lends itself to errors and misunderstandings. It is urgent to establish, as soon as possible, a law on palliative care that puts the person at the center until his or her natural death.

Knowing how to encourage

Perhaps in few things are we mortals more alike than when it comes to discouragement. There are so many goals that we have to reach throughout life, that it is not too difficult for us to run up against even the most beaten paths. There are so many illusions that we engender that it is not surprising that many times they are frustrated even before they are born.
