Members at the Rejoice and Perennial membership levels are shaping the future of Catholic Rural Life with their extraordinary generosity. Their philanthropic support inspires impactful programming and provides essential funding for the resources that ensure Catholic Rural Life continues growing vibrantly.
When you make a commitment at the Perennial membership level—with an annual gift of $10,000 or more—you join a select group of dedicated donors who support our work at the most significant level.
Looking for something else? Visit our donate page to make an additional donation, give to our annual appeal, or make a legacy gift. Or, consider making a pledge or pledge payment to our Sowing Seeds for Faith and Growth Capital Campaign.
The Catholic Rural Life Magazine is our regular publication where we share stories, reflections, and resources with the rural Church. Members receive a complimentary one-year subscription, which includes a print copy delivered to their home on a quarterly basis. Non-members can order copies online.
As a member, you join others who value a rural way of life and seek to live their Catholic faith more deeply in the place God has planted them. Members are united in intercession and in rich liturgical celebrations of the Church; they receive opportunities to be formed in the Catholic tradition in ways unique to rural life and values. Your membership also supports CRL’s apostolate, helping make possible our mission of promoting Catholic life in rural America.
CRL’s members are lay and religious women and men who live across all 50 states. Some live in remote, rural areas while others have a background in rural life or farming and consider themselves “rural-at-heart.” Members are Catholics who wish to dive deeper in their faith right where they are and connect with like-minded people.
Absolutely! We serve men and women who have a heart for the land, but this takes on a variety of expressions. CRL membership is for anyone whose life is rooted in God, family, and community, and who views the land not as the open space between cities, but as the richness that connects them.
