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 in Africa and Asia, it costs at least £700 a year to train a student (also known as a seminarian) for the priesthood. Even though their families and parish communities try to support them, and the Seminaries do their best to grow their own food, it’s a struggle to cover the full costs of seminary training.

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.
