How Cross Catholic Outreach is making an impact
In countries throughout Latin America, Cross Catholic partners with local ministries committed to reaching the poor. We aim to transform lives by supporting projects that serve, empower and evangelize those on the margins of society. Our hope is not just to meet their immediate physical needs, but to walk with them on a journey to a more prosperous and Christ-centered future. We provide food, water, shelter, medical aid, education and the tools to rise out of poverty.
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.
