We also have to seek grants for our corporate apostolates from public and private institutions. Through these apostolates, which always operate in accordance with the civil law, we provide a great service to society. Hence we, like any citizens who are dedicated to teaching or to charitable activities, have a strict right to receive part of the funds earmarked by the State for these purposes.

Grants from official and private bodies, without losing autonomy

But when we obtain these grants we have to make sure that our own autonomy of operation is not eroded. Without that basic freedom we could not do our work. Our friends and cooperators will always be a good help in gaining these just and legitimate grants.

Help from non-Catholics

The human effectiveness and prestige of the work that you will carry out in those corporate apostolates will also motivate many upright people to help you, even though they may be distant from our Catholic faith. Through their dealings with you, marked by your sincere charity, they will begin to love the Work, and with them you will effectively carry out the apostolate ad fidem.
