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
Taking advantage of the month of May, month of the Virgin Mary. Francisco Varo Pineda transports us to the Nazareth of the Virgin Mary and her daily routine. Full of daily sacrifices. The tasks with which she cared for Jesus and sanctified herself day by day.
This Marian invocation has been very present in the Catholic Church since 1917. Both in the prayer of the Rosary, as the place of pilgrimage and in the fervor of the faithful and popes. On May 13 we celebrate the Virgin of Fatima, commemorating her first apparition in Cova da Iria, Portugal.
To St. Joseph, God entrusted the enormous responsibility and privilege of being the husband of the Virgin Mary and custodian of the Holy Family. For this he worked tirelessly to provide for them. He is the one who is closest to Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
