Cameras and Baby-sized Hugs: A Visit to St. Vincent de Paul Orphanage

September 30, 2014 by Cross Catholic Blog

Last week, when I walked into the nursery at St. Vincent de Paul Orphanage in Quito, Ecuador, a group of babies toddled towards me to check out my camera equipment. Just like other kids their age, they were curious about the world around them.  They wanted to explore. As the children crawled onto my lap […]

Rescued and Renewed

March 20, 2012 by Cross Catholic Blog

“I was begging on the streets because there was no food at home,” Edward Ekadeli remembered.  He told me the story of his childhood as we sat together beneath the hot African sun. I met Edward last month in Kitale, a city in western Kenya.  At the time, I was visiting our Cross Catholic Outreach […]

How do you entertain a houseful of physically and mentally disabled children in the Philippines? Answer: fill their days with music! One of our Cross Catholic project officers put himself in harm’s way (accidentally laying down on an anthill) to capture this photo of Sister Venice singing with the kids at Queen of Peace Children’s […]

Cross Catholic helps the sisters run five free Catholic primary schools that serve severely impoverished children in Luanshya, Zambia, a destitute region decimated by […]

Pineapples and Soda Cans

July 12, 2011 by Cross Catholic Blog

Having grown up on a ranch, I always keep an eye out for agriculture-related things while traveling. I think it’s amazing how God has given us the know-how to feed ourselves and that he’s tasked us with taking care of his beautiful creation and its creatures. I’ve seen a lot of fields with many different […]

What Makes This Nun Tick

June 9, 2011 by Cross Catholic Blog

When I talk to nuns and priests overseas who spend their lives ministering to the poor, I often wonder what makes them tick. I especially wondered that about Sr. Mary Peter. She runs St. Ann’s Home in Georgetown Guyana, which used to be a traditional orphanage for girls but is now a home mostly for […]
