Priest friends 24 x 7, 365 days a year

Yes, just as you read. "Amen" is today the first website in the world to contact priests and religious at any time of the day, every day. A true blessing for those who wish to receive spiritual help.

Currently, it brings together more than 1,200 priests and religious of consecrated life available to help, guide, comfort, pray, and give spiritual support. A word of encouragement, of hope, dissipating fears and anxieties or helping spiritual conversion processes have proven to be an enormous help for so many.

During the most difficult period of the pandemic, "Amen" served as hope for thousands of people in the midst of quarantines and confinements. The “Amen” Digital Foundation estimates that it has helped around 100,000 people around the world with its mobile applications, most of them Spanish-speakers.

How does it work?

Today the service is available in 5 languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian. It works on all internet connection platforms like Explorer, Chrome and Safari.

The page was developed with the best programming languages, including Angular and AMP for the mobile version. All this thinking about facilitating the connection wherever you are.

As in their mobile applications (#amenapp), people send messages, if they wish, in anonymous mode and a priest or religious of consecrated life will answer it.

People can browse www.amenapps.com to seek spiritual help, advice, express themselves, let off steam, ask for prayer, clarify doubts, express their religious vocation, etc.
