More than 1,200 bishops and 300 superiors of religious orders from 130 countries want some of their seminarians and priests to study at the
Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome) or in the
Faculties of Ecclesiastical Studies of the University of Navarra (Pamplona). These bishops want them to complete their intellectual, human, and spiritual training at the Sedes Sapientiae (Rome) and Bidasoa (Pamplona) international seminaries or at the priest residences and colleges that are also available to them, both in Spain and Italy.
In its tireless work, the CARF Foundation supports both academic centers in providing a thorough and comprehensive education so that students will then be able to serve the Church and all Christians in their countries of origin, where they exercise their priestly ministry and their vocation of love for others.
