Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
Earlier this year, two priests who serve as Missionaries of Mercy for our Holy Father Pope Francis traveled to San Antonio to visit with seminarians at Assumption Seminary.
During the visit, Monsignor Ted Bertagni and Father Bernard Olszewski shared the mission of Cross Catholic Outreach to transform lives and communities for the glory of God through works of mercy.
They also offered seminarians the opportunity to visit our ministry partners in developing nations during their academic year, so as to experience the suffering Christ in our world through the lives of the poorest of 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.
