Invest in the Future

Help us keep the cost of studies low to provide accessibility to students travelling from poor countries.

Support the Institute

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.
