Across Nigeria and beyond, indigent Catholic priests serve tirelessly in some of the most remote and neglected areas, often enduring severe poverty, inadequate housing, hunger, and a lack of basic liturgical and pastoral resources. Despite these harsh conditions, they remain steadfast in their mission, bringing Christ to the forgotten, offering consolation, and keeping the flame of faith alive.
The Friends of Indigent Priests Foundation exists to support these spiritual heroes by providing food, shelter, vestments, chapel renovations, and tools for effective ministry. We invite you to join this mission of mercy — to sustain those who sustain the Church, and to be a blessing to the men who daily give everything for the Gospel.
In forgotten villages and remote corners of the world, indigent priests serve with unshakable devotion despite living in deep poverty. Many go without electricity, clean water, or even basic healthcare, yet they continue to bring the sacraments to the faithful, walk long distances to reach the sick, and shine the light of Christ in communities where hope is scarce. Their sacrifices are quiet but immense, carried out with grace and courage.
You can be a part of their story. Through the Friends of Indigent Priests Foundation, your monthly or annual donation—no matter how small—can make a life-changing difference. A gift of $50 could provide clean drinking water; $100 might repair a chapel roof. These simple acts of kindness bring not just material support but also dignity, encouragement, and hope to those who carry the Church in its most rugged places. Together, our compassion can lift the burdens of those who lift our prayers. Support a shepherd today.
