Answering the Call

Preparing Faithful Shepherds in a Modern World

Nurturing a Relationship with the Lord

Since 1995, IPF has walked with seminarians, priests, and bishops to deepen their spiritual lives. As the demands of diocesan life grow, the need for sustained spiritual formation has never been greater.

Through our programs, we help clergy encounter God on a deeply personal level and then share their experience with those they serve. A strong spiritual foundation isn’t a luxury – it’s the most vital element of the priestly vocation.

They’ve Answered God’s Call.
Won’t you too?

Your support of Answering the Call will allow the work of IPF to continue and assist our clergy to grow in holiness. It ensures that vital programs continue to serve seminarians, priests and bishops.  The Answering the Call Annual Fund supports the daily mission of IPF.  While tuition covers just 70% of program costs, generous contributions from donors make our work possible.

Your gift helps directly support programs such as:
• The Summer Program for Seminiarians
• Spiritual Direction Training Program
• Spiritual Formation Program for Bishops
• Pre-Ordiniation and Alumni Retreats
• Ongoing Formation for Vocation Directors and Clergy

By giving to IPF’s Annual Fund, you’re investing in all those who have answered God’s call to serve our church- today and for generations to come.
