PRIESTS AND CONSECRATED RELIGIOUS 24/7

With the pandemic, the approach to the Church and everything it offers us increased with the help of initiatives such as AMEN, which, using technological resources, offers the opportunity to chat and talk with consecrated priests and religious at any time of the day.

AMEN launched the first website in the world, www.amenapps.com, where you can contact priests and religious 24/7, that is, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It is a service designed for all those who wish to receive spiritual help.

In addition, AMEN is available in five languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian and on all Internet connection platforms such as Explorer, Chrome and Safari.
