Several members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops recently added their names to the long list of clergy who graciously endorse Cross Catholic Outreach.
“I take this opportunity to endorse Cross Catholic Outreach for the great work of helping to provide the most basic of human needs to so many of our brothers and sisters within our own borders and throughout the world.”
“The work of Cross Catholic Outreach to support Catholic missionaries in the developing world is a blessing to the universal Church. Having the ears to hear the cry of the poor is so important in our modern age, when many in the developed world assume poverty no longer threatens the lives of our brothers and sisters.”
“The Church reminds us that all of us should make the prayer of the poor our own and pray together with them. In solidarity, we must offer not just material support, but our open hearts to those deprived of the basic necessities of life. I join my brother bishops in support of your mission to transform the lives of the poor materially and spiritually.”
“Like Pope Leo XIV, remembered for his closeness to the poor and marginalized in Peru where he served for many years, we too must grow in solidarity with the poor. … I encourage you to continue this ministry of service, which aligns with the model of integral human development recognized as so effective by the Church.”
“Service to the poor is central to the message of Our Lord Jesus Christ, yet we live in times that are not particularly sensitive to their needs. … I am pleased to join a majority of bishops in the United States, as well as here in Louisiana, in endorsing your mission to love and serve the poor.”
“I am inspired by how Cross Catholic Outreach turns Catholic generosity into tangible, life-changing outcomes, from clean water initiatives to orphan care programs. Your ministry truly embodies the Church’s call to be the hands and feet of Christ.”

Donations from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures for this project incurred through June 30, 2027, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, if any, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
