Every missionary begins with a call. Your support helps turn that call into a life of service.
Forming missionaries for today’s world is both a tremendous challenge and a necessary mission. The Claretian Missionaries are committed to preparing men who can bring the Gospel to communities near and far, responding with compassion, wisdom, and courage to the needs of our time.
Our formation program is holistic, just as the Church asks of us. We form our students spiritually, intellectually, humanly, and pastorally, shaping their minds and hearts so they may serve with the fire of a true Claretian spirit. This means years of study, prayer, community life, and immersion in real missionary work.
Our students attend universities and theological institutions while also participating in community life, pastoral ministry, spiritual formation, language study, and missionary experiences. Tuition and fees are only part of the cost. Housing, food, books, transportation, health and personal expenses, and other formation needs all add up.
Depending on where a student studies and lives, the cost of formation can reach $60,000–$90,000 or more for one year.
And our students come from around the world, including the United States, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kenya, Cameroon, China, and Mexico.
Our students come from all over the world, including the United States, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kenya, Cameroon, China, and Mexico. They arrive with open hearts and a willingness to go wherever they are needed most. Their generosity and dedication inspire us, and we invite you to be part of their journey.
When you give to Claretian vocations, you are helping provide the resources needed to accompany these men throughout their formation.
Your support can help provide:
- Tuition and educational expenses
- Housing and food
- Books and educational materials
- Transportation
- Language study
- Pastoral and missionary experiences
- Spiritual and human formation
- Opportunities to serve and learn alongside the communities they will one day accompany
You are not simply helping educate a student. You are helping prepare a missionary for a lifetime of service.
