The foundation's purpose is to provide financial support to students who wish to pursue a career as a diocesan or order priest during their secondary school and theology studies. The foundation can benefit: all young people who reside in the parish of Beckenried and wish to become priests; relatives of the founder who choose to pursue a career in the priesthood, regardless of their place of residence. The amount of support provided is based on the beneficiary's need and worthiness; it is expected to be repaid to the foundation if the beneficiary ultimately does not pursue a career as a priest.
