WHO IS JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA?

THE GOSPEL OF MARK TELLS US THAT JOSEPH WAS A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE SANHEDRIN, THE HIGHEST JEWISH COURT AND ADMINISTRATIVE BODY. THEREFORE, JOSEPH WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE, A VERY WEALTHY MAN, AND THANKS TO HIS SOCIAL POSITION, HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO COULD OBTAIN AN AUDIENCE WITH THE ROMAN GOVERNOR, PONTIUS PILATE. THIS SOCIAL AND POLITICAL POSITION UNDOUBTEDLY PROVED USEFUL FOR THE SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER FOR JOSEPH TO APPROACH JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES. IT WAS INDEED A LIMITATION TO HIS OWN CONVERSION.

OUR MISSION

V
We work to support the three pillars of the Foundation's mission:
Support, Charity And Education.

Support

We are aware of the economic difficulties faced by many priests, nuns, missionaries, and religious workers. We believe in the importance of their work and, therefore, provide financial support and assistance to help alleviate the burdens they might face. By reducing their financial worries, we help them focus on their spiritual and academic development and enable them to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve their goals.

Charity

We collaborate with organizations and religious communities that are effecting real change in the lives of individuals and communities. We work with them to identify and promote projects that address social, economic, and humanitarian needs. Through collaboration with institutions that share our values, we are able to assist those in need, upholding the teachings of Christ and the spirit of philanthropy.

Education

Education is an essential part of personal and spiritual development. We support training opportunities for religious workers and missionaries to understand theological doctrines, develop pastoral care skills, and acquire leadership abilities. Through scholarships, grants, and partnerships with schools, we support access to quality education and training, providing spiritual leaders with the necessary tools to become the guides of their communities.

From The Gospel According To Matthew 10:7-15

by Vincenzo Trani
„At that time, Jesus said to his apostles:'As you go, proclaim this message: The kingdom of heaven has come near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts; no bag for the journey, or extra shirt, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.”
