Cross Catholic Outreach believes a dramatic, positive transformation is possible in the lives of Guatemala’s most vulnerable children, families and communities. Here is a quick look at the many inspiring and life-changing projects we’ve committed to funding through your generous support during our 2020 fiscal year.
The Human Impact of Safe Housing in Haiti
We got a taste of hardship when we visited the Vieux family in Haiti. Cross Catholic Outreach is working with the Kobonal Haiti Mission to build safe, sturdy homes for the needy.
My Day With the Backpack Bishop
I was recently in the Dominican Republic, meeting with Bishop José Grullón Estrella, who is the founder of FUNDASEP, the social outreach of the Catholic Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana. We were there to help build six clean water systems and construct 24 new homes.
Doing Church in Cuilapa, Guatemala
Cuilapa is a town for the ears. A town of dogs barking, roosters crowing, horns blasting, fireworks bursting, loudspeakers blasting, and upbeat music pumping. It’s also a town of bells—great brass bells that ring loud and long and joyous as street vendors close their food stands and evening draws near.
