We invite you to learn about our missions in Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico and the Appalachian Mountains and our schools and parishes within our beautiful Province. The Piarist Fathers of the United States and Puerto Rico are pleased to share with you The Piarist Fathers Compassion Challenge. As members of a religious order, we take four vows: poverty, chastity, obedience and education of youth, especially the poor. As a religious order, we have a number of ministries and some special projects, which we undertake annually. The success of our ministries and projects relies heavily upon the financial generosity of people like you - our alumni, parishioners, co-workers, relatives and friends. The Compassion Challenge focuses on numerous projects: The Adopt-a-Seminarian Project, St. Joseph Calasanz House of Formation, The Piarist Fathers Latin Mission Project, The Piarist Fathers Puerto Rico Mission, The Piarist Fathers Guatemala Mission, The Colegio Calasanz Tuition Assistance Project, The Houston Initiative, St. Joachim Academy Project, Cuba Project, Planned Giving/Estate Planning to the Piarist Fathers The Piarist School Tuition Assistance Project The Piarist Fathers Language Studies Project and The Retired Piarist Fathers Project. In order to learn more about these projects, we encourage you to take a moment of your time to visit our special website, www.piaristchallenge.com We challenge you to select a project or projects, which might interest you. Your decision to support one or more of these projects with a donation will make a difference. Helping us to help others is at the heart of The Piarist Fathers Compassion Challenge. Will you accept the challenge?
