The mission of the CARF Foundation

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

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.
