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.
Thanks to generous people like you, candidates can complete their academic, theological, human and spiritual formation in universities and seminaries in Rome and Pamplona.
Each year, more than 800 bishops from around the world apply for grants to help them train their students to become bishops. PUSC and in the UNAVMost vocations today are born in African or American countries, which lack the means.
131 countries send candidates to universities and training centers

New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve is more than a change of calendar; it is an opportunity to reflect in the light of faith and celebrate in a Christian key.
On Friday, if Christmas falls on a Sunday, the Feast of the Holy Family is celebrated. The Holy Family is a reflection of the Trinity and a model of the Christian family. The Church invites us to look at Joseph, Mary and the Child Jesus, to deepen our family love and to examine our own home situation.
