FIRST PRIORITY
Novitiate House Building Fund
Our most pressing need is the construction of new housing for our Novices, as our Institute is rapidly outgrowing our current building. You can help bring our plans for this necessary expansion to life and equip us for years of continued growth.
Ways To Support
Initial Formation Fund
Provide for the formation and spiritual development of the young women in our Novitiate House through seminary education, retreats, and other events.
Permanent Formation Fund
Support our Temporary and Perpetually Professed Sisters as they continue to take meaningful classes, go on their required Spiritual Exercises every year, attend conferences, and seek other opportunities to better know and serve our Lord.
Media Fund
Building the Eucharistic Kingdom means evangelizing through media. Help us to reach more souls hungry for the Eucharist by supporting our efforts to create high-quality online content like videos and music recordings!
