Both the seminarians and the sisters need computers for their studies and work. The need is greater now that many conferences, workshops and courses are being offered via internet. The internet and video calling are also used for vocational outreach. This is a particularly pressing need in Brazil, where the enormous size of the country and the relative poverty make traveling for visits impossible for some families.
Some sisters and seminarians are also pursuing advanced degrees, and the computers are useful for attending video-conferenced classes, preparing research papers, and even simple administrative processes like signing up for classes.
There is a need for a half dozen new workstations in the convent and the same in the seminary.
In both institutions computers and phones are only available for use in limited designated times and places, to prevent worldly distractions from disrupting the importance of prayer and silence.
$5000 USD for each institution will be enough to purchase the simple desktop computers they need.
