Share The Faith’s Support A Missionary Priest Application to Help Transfigure America 

Dear Father, glory to Our Jesus Christ!

Though we look forward to being able to offer more, what would $600 -$12,000 divided into 12 monthly grants help you accomplish in the healing and salvation of souls, starting with your own family’s? While we are working to be able to offer larger grants in the future for domestic missionary work here in America, by God’s grace, we have some level of assistance to offer now. Your proving what fruits these grants can produce will help us be able to offer substantially more to you and your colleagues in the future.

Please Note: All requests from canonical clergy in our United States will be considered. Applications from capable (& trained) deacons and un-ordained missionaries will be reviewed and approved based on funds availability.
