Our Apostolic Priorities

Parish Renewal

To prayerfully facilitate an atmosphere for parishioners to experience the grace of renewal, while embracing the call for the New Evangelization. “The Second Vatican Council invited all "to a profound interior renewal, so that having a lively awareness of their personal responsibility for the spreading of the Gospel, they may play their part in missionary work among the nations." (Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church Ad Gentes, 35)

Parish2Parish Relationships

To actively engage Catholic parishes to be involved in a Parish2Parish relationships that are mutually beneficial. “Cooperation between the churches, in an authentic reciprocity that prepares them both to give and to receive, is a source of enrichment for all of them and touches the various spheres of ecclesial life”. (St. John Paul II)

Serving Christ in the Poor

Inspired by the unmitigated love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for humanity, we foster an opportunity to encounter and serve the suffering Christ in the poor. “Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me” (Matt 25:40)

OUR MISSION

The International Missionary Foundation is a Catholic Apostolate dedicated to serving the suffering Christ in the poor by fostering Parish2Parish relationships that are mutually beneficial between the United States and Developing Nations.

You can make a sustainable, lasting and permanent impact on the poor and neglected by volunteering today!

The particular churches in America are called to extend their missionary efforts beyond the bounds of this continent…it would be a mistake not to encourage an evangelizing effort beyond the continent with the excuse that there is still so much to in America

~ St. John Paul II

Poverty is present in every community of our world, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual...
I had an amazing, beautiful, and heartfelt experience. Honestly, I feel like a changed person...
It feels like I have a greater capacity to love others, and to be more open to receiving love from other people.
God and the people of Nicaragua revealed to me how little the role of money plays in one's true happiness...
The mission trip was life-changing! ...I'm more alive and truly myself than I have ever been before! God is so good!!!
