Cross Catholic Outreach empowers St. Gabriel Catholic Health Center’s important work of providing very low-cost maternal and infant care for impoverished families. Despite operating on a tight budget, the center has a 98% patient retention rate. The center is one of the very few medical facilities in Ethiopia to offer ultrasound. This is a high-quality program that has impacted many lives, with staff members sharing the love of Christ with all they serve.
Brother Wossen, a St. Gabriel health officer, got involved in the medical field because he wanted to express his faith through the work of his hands. “It is not my character to preach. I want to show others the love of God by living the Gospel with my life,” he said. “Our services are for all people with no discrimination. We work in the spirit and with the values of the Catholic Church.”
