Mission & Vision
As the Pater Leo Dehon Foundation, we preserve the enduring legacy of our order’s founder by securing assets for the long term and purposefully using the resulting income to support the missionary, charitable, and educational work of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. We strive to combine Christian spirituality with social commitment and to promote the dignity of every person.
Target groups
The foundation is aimed at all individuals and institutions who wish to commit themselves to pastoral, social, educational, and missionary projects in a long-term and sustainable manner. This includes donors, endowers, fiduciary endowers, lenders, as well as testators who strengthen the foundation's capital through testamentary donations and thereby promote the work of the Priests of the Sacred Heart in Germany and worldwide. In particular, individuals who value a permanent, transparent, and purpose-bound use of their assets will find a reliable partner in the Pater Leo Dehon Foundation.
