JUVENTUTEM USA
Juventutem USA and SPORCH (Society for the Preservation of Roman Catholic Heritage) have partnered to provide financial assistance to American clergy and religious under age 35 who wish to attend World Youth Day 2008 as part of the Juventutem contingent.
SPORCH is a spiritually-motivated group of clergy, religious, laity, artisans, and concerned individuals working to preserve the spiritual purpose and enduring beauty of Catholic liturgical art items and other artifices from the Roman Catholic Liturgical and cultural heritage of the United States.
The mission of SPORCH is to preserve Roman Catholic traditions of art and artifacts, and the mission of Juventutem is to sanctify youth through traditional Catholic means. Because our missions dovetail so beautifully, we have decided to work together to bring as many young priests, nuns, and brothers to World Youth Day 2008 as possible, in order that they can bring their enthusiasm, devotion and love of Roman Catholic Tradition to other Catholics there.
Our goal is to raise $15,000 over the next few months to pay for the airfare and room and board of six priests and nuns from various orders throughout the United States.
CAN YOU HELP OUR PRIESTS AND NUNS GET TO AUSTRALIA?
- Airfare: $1800
- World Youth Day fees: $400
Juventutem USA and SPORCH thank you for your generosity and ask for your prayers! For every donation $100 and over, you will receive a free gift from SPORCH!
SPORCH has produced an exclusive item for its Juventutem fundraising campaign: a double-sided portrait of the Holy Father in red and white.
These reproductions are taken from two original, commissioned oil paintings, and cannot be found anywhere else. 
The paintings are back-to-back on a 5x7" wooden plaque, which comes with a stand for easy display.
