Missio is an instrument through which Catholics in England and Wales can support the training of future priests and sisters in mission dioceses all over the world. Missio also has a special, long-standing relationship with five seminaries in Kenya, India, Malawi, Nigeria and Sri Lanka. These seminaries offer the opportunity to sponsor the training of a future priest.

When you sponsor a seminarian, you are playing your part in helping God’s immense love to reach the furthest corners of the earth – transforming our world.

Dear Missio Fraternity,

I am deeply indebted to you for your generous support throughout my formation journey. Your faith in my vocation strengthens my resolve and inspires me each day to offer myself fully to the service of God and his Church.

Your kindness has  accompanied me in countless ways, reminding me that this calling is nurtured not in isolation but through the love and sacrifice of many who believe in the mission of forming future ministers.

Thank you for standing with me through your financial assistance and most importantly, through the gift of your prayers. It brings me great joy and deep reassurance to know that you remember me in your daily intentions. This spiritual closeness strengthens my heart, especially during moments of challenge, and fills me with confidence as I continue to grow in faith and dedication.

Knowing that you walk with me on this journey inspires me each day to grow into the priest God is calling me to become. Indeed, the Church is a family united by love for a shared mission. May the Lord, who sees the goodness and generosity of your hearts, reward you abundantly for all you continue to do for me and for the Church.

Yours faithfully,

Br Joseph
