Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” (Matthew 14:14). The New Testament contains scene after scene of Jesus healing the sick and infirm. In our support for Catholic medical programs for the poor in the developing world, we hope to model our work after Jesus. His compassion led to an outpouring of healing, and we pray our humble efforts will also result in healing and restored hope for the poor.
Our mission is to mobilize the global Catholic Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. Your gift empowers us to serve the poorest of the poor by channeling life-changing aid through an international network of dioceses, parishes and Catholic missionaries. This cost-effective approach helps break the cycle of poverty and advance Catholic evangelization.
