Vocations:

  • The Province spends $100,000 per year reaching discerners across North America

  • Then, $42,000 per year for each man who enters our formation program

  • Each Augustinian priest represents an upfront investment of $300,000 over 7 years of formation

Will you invest in the education of future priests and brothers?

 
 

Retired & Infirm Friars

  • After retirement, Augustinian friars are supported by the Province–not the diocese or school where they served.

  • When these men enter Assisted Living, the Province spends $47,000 per year on their care and support.

  • As the number retired friars grows, the collected income of active friars is not enough to support them.

Will you contribute to the care of our eldest friars?


Missions in Peru

  • Since 1962, the Midwest Province has directed and funded missions in northern Peru, serving and advocating for the country’s most vulnerable populations.

  • These missions–called the Vicariate of Chulucanas–are now staffed almost exclusively by Peruvian-born vocations, coming from the villages we serve.

  • Although the Vicariate strives for self-sufficiency, they need your gifts to run local ministries such as food pantries, schools for children with intellectual disabilities, and vocational education for women
