We rely on charitable gifts to support three main priorities:
For information about other ways to give, including bequests, stock transfers, appreciated securities, or property/real estate, please contact Chief Advancement Officer Ed Barrett at 773-614-5898.
Vocations:
The Province spends $100,000 per year reaching discerners across North America
Then, $50,000 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
Will you support your neighbors in Peru?
