SPA Membership
Contributions from SPA donors make a real
difference to the seminarians and religious in
mission dioceses around the world. Without your
support these men and women would be unable to
pursue their dream of serving the Church and
their vocation would be lost.
There is no subscription to the SPA. Please
contact the SPA office if you wish to become a
member and be put on our mailing list (you can
ask to be taken off the mailing list at any
time). You will receive a summer newsletter and
a copy of the latest Mission Tomorrow
magazine with our yearly Christmas appeal (or
the Lenten appeal if you are a member of the
clergy or a religious community). We ask for
your spiritual support for the continuing work
of the SPA, and of course any financial support
you may be able to offer.
The support of SPA members is vital if we are to answer the call
to become missionaries and to support the needs
of the Church, especially where it is new, young
or poor.
You can support the work of the SPA through
prayer, financial commitment and through raising
awareness of the need to support the training of
clergy and religious in mission dioceses.
Through prayer
we become part of the universal Church. You might like to
support the SPA either individually or as a
group, with your family or your Parish. We would
be happy to send you our prayer cards for
Seminary Students and for Missionaries – just
get in touch.
Through financial support
we enable seminarians and religious to train for
the priesthood and religious life, providing
places at seminaries that would otherwise not be
available.
You can donate by:
- a one-off donation or regular payments
by cheque/Postal Order/card/Standing Order, or

different country each year and an insight into
the lives of the seminarians and religious
