Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
Cross Catholic Outreach continues to win the support and admiration of Catholic bishops throughout the U.S. and beyond.

In his endorsement letter, Bishop Biegler wrote, “The service you provide to those in need is commendable and a witness to the message of Christ to always remember the poor… I am pleased to endorse the work of Cross Catholic Outreach in providing the Corporal Works of Mercy to those in need around the world.”
– from Kansas, wrote, “Your ministry of caring for the poorest of the poor is impressive and very important. I congratulate you on your dedication to act as witnesses of Christ to all those impacted by your organization.”
– wrote, “Your ministry’s commitment to provide the Corporal Works of Mercy through Catholic missionaries in the developing world is commendable. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick and providing shelter for the homeless are ways we give a visible reminder to the hopeless that God loves and cares for them… I’m pleased to endorse the mission of Cross Catholic Outreach and join my brother bishops in support of your mission of helping the poorest of the poor.”
After visiting our offices in south Florida, Bishop Clyde M. Harvey of the Diocese of St. George’s in Grenada wrote that he was “encouraged by your ministry’s charitable works in the Caribbean, Latin America and around the world. As Pope Francis has reminded us many times, the option for the poor is not really one option among many, but an integral part of Christian faith and mission… May God continue to bless the work you are doing… I am very pleased to be associated with you in this most necessary work.”
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.
