Walk with them, so they can walk with God’s global family
If you, your family or your parish can raise £42 a month for four years, you can help realise a vocation in a mission diocese and help build a strong and vibrant Church for the future.
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 our Church overseas.

How it works
- You register – as an individual, a group, or a parish – to sponsor a seminarian in one of our five seminary partner locations: India, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Kenya or Malawi. This means a commitment to raising £500 a year, for four years. That’s £42 a month or £1.37 a day.
- Missio receives names of seminarians from our five partners. We then allocate a seminarian to you. You’ll receive the name of a student in the first of his final four years of Theology studies. He will also receive your name and hold you in prayer. You can choose to correspond, if you so wish. Your personal contact information will not be shared, as all correspondence goes via Missio.
