Join our mission.
Every year, Hearts Aflame relies on donations to cover the approximately $15,000 funding shortfall between what we can realistically ask participants to contribute, and what it actually costs to run the school. Donations help us cover essential costs such as food and accommodation for Priests, religious, lecturers and our team, as well as consumables such as candles in the chapel, batteries for our tech gear, printing, first aid, transport and stationery.
The best way to help us is to set up an automatic payment to Hearts Aflame: giving us just $25 a month would, over the year, cover the cost of a lecturer’s food and accommodation at Hearts. If 25 people contributed $25 a month, the cost for all of our lecturers would be covered each year!
Please consider how you can support our mission in 2025 and beyond through a one off donation or regular monthly contribution. As a registered charity, we are able to provide tax receipts for these donations. For 33 years it has been our mission to support young Catholics in New Zealand: please join us in our mission

Scroll further down this page to choose a donation item and pay online without leaving our website. You can choose your own amount or select a set amount.
We want to to ensure that your donation is used effectively for the glory of God in New Zealand, so your donation through these items will go towards all the various work of Hearts Aflame Catholic Summer School and not necessarily solely to the item that you select here. For instance, fifty First Aid kits would be a bit excessive! Instead we’ll use those surplus donations for other areas and needs of Hearts Aflame Catholic Summer School.
