Why make a donation to the Community of the Beatitudes?
Supporting the Community of the Beatitudes means supporting the mission of the Church in all the countries where the Community is established, through its evangelization outreach (running retreats, camps, pilgrimages, apostolates for young people, publications) and its work in the field of charity and compassion (foster homes, orphanages, hospitals, development projects).
Each year the Community of the Beatitudes is blessed with around 200 young people in formation, of which about a hundred are in the initial stages of formation which precede the temporary engagement for the laity and the temporary vows for the consecrated. The Community welcomes between 30 and 40 new vocations each year for the first stage of integration into community life called “aspirancy.” Formation continues with postulancy (or probation for the laity), novitiate, and several more years of formation leading up to final vows or permanent commitments. Each year, around 30 brothers study for the priesthood.
It is the responsibility of the Community to properly prepare the young people who knock on its door for their commitment to serve Christ. This training is essential… but it comes at a cost! All the more so as costs related to daily life and health insurance for young vocations are added to those of the formation itself. The initial formation lasts from 3 to 6 years, according to the individual calling of each one, at an annual cost of $17,000 per person. The Community needs your support.
How to Donate to the Community
Donating online is convenient, fast, and secure.
We can only offer this online solution to a French account. For fiscal reasons, the Community of the Beatitudes relies on the National Foundation for the Clergy, which transfers the donations in full. Please note that the Community is only informed of your online donation by the Clergy Foundation twice a year, in January and August, which is why, unfortunately, we can only personally thank our donors with a few months delay.
