Our Mission
To provide meaningful, transparent financial support to marginalized priests, enabling them to continue their ministry and service while maintaining their dignity and independence.
The Restoring Christian Culture Initiative (RCCI) is establishing the Cancelled Priest Fund after witnessing the shocking mismanagement of donations by an existing organization that claims to support cancelled priests. Financial records reveal that just 6.6% of expenses go to actual priest support while the president receives a $100,000 salary—more than double what all supported priests receive combined. Even more concerning, this organization spent $140,121 on a single fundraising event that netted just $42,848, while sitting on over $1.5 million in assets that could be helping priests in need today.
The RCCI Cancelled Priest Fund builds on our organization's extensive experience working directly with priests who have experienced unjust cancellation. For the past two years, RCCI has housed, employed, and compensated priests at our Sanctus Ranch facility and through our Lumen Christi Academy.
"So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do." -Luke 17:10

The 90% Commitment
● Minimum 90% of all donations will go directly to priest support and priest vetting. (including Priest Admin Salaries)
● Administrative costs minimized through RCCI's existing infrastructure
● Administrative roles filled by cancelled priests themselves, creating a virtuous cycle
● Regular quarterly financial reports published online
This level of efficiency is possible because the fund operates as a program within the existing Restoring Christian Culture Initiative framework. We already employ the administrative staff needed to facilitate this fund's operations, meaning we don't need to build a costly new infrastructure from scratch. Furthermore, key positions will be staffed by cancelled priests themselves, thereby providing meaningful employment to the very men we aim to support.
Join the Mission
The RCCI Cancelled Priest Fund represents a new standard in transparency, efficiency, and genuine commitment to supporting faithful priests who have been marginalized for upholding traditional Catholic teachings.
Together, we can ensure these "unprofitable servants" of Christ continue their vital ministry with dignity and security.
