Ways of Giving Your Support
Prayer
Your fervent prayers invoke God’s grace and blessing on Spiritan missionaries everywhere, especially those working in challenging, life and faith threatening situations and missions.
Your prayers for the continued outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us Spiritans empower and inspire us to continue our missionary work with a special focus on helping those most disadvantaged and among those who do not know to the Good News (evangelisation) following the example and missionary vision of our founders Claude Poullart Des Places and Francis Mary Paul Libermann.

Gifts in Wills and Legacies
Gifts in Wills are extremely important in helping us carry on our missionary work.
By leaving a gift in your Will to the Spiritans (Holy Ghost Fathers), you help in this mission work and help to make a lasting difference.
How do I leave a gift in my Will to the Spiritans (Holy Ghost Fathers)?
Three main ways you can leave money to a charity:
- You can leave a ‘Residuary’ gift which is the remainder after all other gifts and debts have been paid. This ensures that your family and others, who are the main beneficiaries, are catered for first and what is left over can then be donated to charity.
- You can leave a cash lump sum (a pecuniary gift?).
- You can leave a specific piece of property.
Many benefactors prefer to leave a ‘Residuary’ gift in their Will.
Whatever option you choose, if you wish to leave a legacy to the Spiritans (Holy Ghost Fathers) then ask a solicitor for assistance and advice.
