Please give a warm welcome to our new chairman of the board, Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi! As you may know, Archbishop Rodi has a long history with Cross Catholic Outreach as a trusted and faithful member of our board of directors – and he brings an impressive resume.
Thank You, Bishop Jacobs!

Thank You from the Philippines
Cross Catholic has been working with Gawad Kalinga in the Philippines to transform the slums of metro Manila into thriving communities.

Merry Christmas to Christ’s Disciples

These disciples of Christ might be serving hot meals, visiting the elderly, or doing other meaningful work on behalf of the poor on Christmas Day in addition to celebrating Christ’s birth.
