Friars delighted by generous start to funding appeal
Avocations surge for the English Dominicans has inspired hundreds of generous gifts from donors across the world in support of the formation of the next generation of friars.
With 8 new men accepted to join the English Dominican noviciate in September 2025, an appeal was made two weeks ago in support of the St Dominic’s Formation Fund, to assist with the costs of forming friars for mission.
Results to Date
As well as hundreds of individual donations, an amazing 80 people have so far pledged monthly support by standing order or card, providing essential ongoing income for this area of need.
Donations and pledges to date amount to £36,000, taking us 60% of the way to this year’s target of £60,000 in new donations.
As well as donors from the UK, we have been delighted to receive support from Argentina, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, USA and Vietnam!
This generous support helps ensure that the friars can cover the c. £12,000 cost for each new recruit to undertake the noviciate year, and will also assist in future years with the £19,000 per friar per year that it costs for the seven further years of formation and study that each friar will be required to undertake.
