How Cross Catholic Outreach is Making an Impact
For the past 18 months, the continent of Africa has faced an unprecedented crisis, a severe drought has greatly affected livestock and food supplies in the region. United Nations officials say this may be the largest humanitarian crisis since 1945. Losing their livestock and crops due to lack of rain, many poor families have been on the brink of starvation. To save people from starvation, Cross Catholic Outreach is helping our ministry partners provide food staples and relief to hungry families in Kenya.

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.
