In developing countries, women and girls are disproportionately impacted by poverty and violence, and that is especially true for women in countries where access is limited. One of the best ways to reduce poverty is to help women achieve their full potential through empowerment opportunities.
This Easter, you can share the love of Christ with women and girls through anti-trafficking efforts and by helping Catholic ministries train and equip female entrepreneurs.
Girls who grow up on city streets can fall prey to trafficking and abuse. Around the world, Cross Catholic Outreach invests in safe places for girls who have been abused. These homes prevent future abuse through counseling and community education. They also offer medical assistance and teach family life skills. This photo shows how girls who live at one residential center in the Philippines were encouraged to create colorful masks to help themselves heal and express a new vision for their lives. Give now and empower girls for success!
You can make a gift in honor of a friend or family member. Cross Catholic Outreach’s Easter Catalog is a fun and easy way to give alms this holy season. Once you complete the checkout process, let your honoree know by sending a printed certificate or e-card.
Our Easter Catalog makes it easy for you to send a meaningful gift to someone who desperately needs a miracle of help and hope. Small monthly gifts play a big role in providing regular support to the poor and vulnerable all year long. When you become a monthly donor, you will receive a prayer journal handmade by those we serve in Haiti!
It’s easy to shop through the Cross Catholic Outreach Easter Catalog. Browse through the categories and choose an item within your budget and close to your heart, such as Women-Owned Farms or preventing human trafficking. Select and sponsor one or more of these gifts, and you’ll make a meaningful impact on the life of a needy child or family overseas. It’s that simple!
During Lent, Catholics around the world pray, fast and give alms for our brothers and sisters in need. Small sacrifices are just one of the ways that we can follow Jesus’ example of giving his life on the cross to accomplish God’s plan of redemption. When we give alms, we bless the poor, we obey God’s command to care for them, and express our gratitude for the gift of salvation!
Donations from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures for the Easter Catalog incurred through June 30, 2023, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than are needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
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.
