Together we are training tomorrow’s generations of Priests and Sisters
Missio supports the training of over 25,000 future Priests and 11,000 Religious Sisters each year by providing young Churches in developing countries with funding to train their own future Church leaders.
Today, these Priests and Sisters are building the vibrant Catholic Church of tomorrow, ensuring the gift of faith is passed on to future generations worldwide.
How we help
In mission dioceses across Africa and Asia, it costs at least £700 a year to train one future priest. Even with significant sacrifices made by families, parishes and the self-sustaining efforts of the seminary community, local dioceses struggle to cover the full cost of seminary training. Your contribution helps faith communities to grow in places where the Church is new, young or under-resourced.
Missio believes no vocation should be turned away through lack of funds. That’s why the Holy Father asks us to channel help from our supporters in England and Wales to help build the future of our Church.
With your help – either through donations, our seminarian sponsorship programme, or by leaving a legacy in your Will – Missio can support the next generation of leaders for our global Church.
