The Foundation of Prayer for Priests is a private association of the faithful according to the Church's canons 215; 298-299 §§1-2. Founded in 2013 with encouragement of Rome's Congregation for the Clergy, we exist to build up the Body of Christ. Our members include clergy and lay faithful in over twenty countries.

The mission of the Foundation of Prayer for Priests, a Eucharistic apostolate, is to spiritually advance and protect the holiness and fruitfulness of the Priesthood of the Lord by igniting a movement of prayer, sacrifice, service, and study.

We encourage women, men, families, parishes, to discover and live their call to spiritual motherhood and fatherhood of souls, especially for clergy and seminarians. Timely and vital is this vision since St. John Vianney taught, “When people want to destroy religion, they begin by attacking the priest.”

Through our "Vianney Cenacles" prayer is offered by individuals or communities in homes or parishes. Through our program of spiritual adoption of priests and seminarians, you can build a spiritual reservoir of grace for priests and seminarians.

We pray that the resources on this website will inspire in priests, seminarians and laity an ardent desire to engage in this mission for the salvation of souls. The Church has been praying for the holiness of clergy and for vocations for over two thousand years, but “for such a time as this” a new emphasis is given for an ardent movement of intercessory prayer to protect the holiness and fruitfulness of the clergy. Together, we form an army of intercessors under the mantle of Mary, Mother of the Eternal High Priest. Please join us and invite others also.
