By supporting the Pontifical Oriental Institute, you will be investing in the future of Eastern Christianity.
Your contribution supports the education and preparation of a new generation of leaders.
Although the Oriental Institute forms the Gregorian Consortium with the Gregorian University and the Biblical Institute, it is academically and financially independent from them.
Help us keep the cost of studies low to provide accessibility to students travelling from poor countries.
Your help is needed for us to carry out our work at the service of the Church. Some church institutions support us, but we look to our benefactors to assist us in meeting our financial needs.
