Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
Join the Relief Effort for Hurricanes Eta and Iota
Back-to-back storms are devastating Central America. Hurricane Iota slammed into Nicaragua as a Category 4 storm on nearly the same devastating path Hurricane Eta took.
Eta’s sustained winds of 140 MPH ripped roofs from homes, uprooted trees and knocked down power lines. Torrential rain, flash flooding and landslides have already become life-threatening problems across Central America. Now, Iota is dealing a second devastating blow to the area.
As many as 3 million people may be affected, as well as our Catholic ministry partners serving the poor.
Cross Catholic Outreach is coordinating to deliver much-needed relief supplies, including food and medical aid to ministries in Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
- •More than a quarter-million meals were provided to our ministry partners in Nicaragua for rapid distribution.
- •In Honduras, medical aid is now being administered to those seeking refuge at temporary shelters.
While we have provided a significant amount of relief aid already, much more needs to be done! Our brothers and sisters are in harm’s way again, and it will take time and resources to help the homeless, treat the injured and restore lives.
Please join us in praying the Protection from Storms prayer and giving generously to help us deliver immediate aid to our brothers and sisters in need.

Cross Catholic Outreach
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.
Proceeds from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures incurred through June 30, 2021, the close of our ministry’s new 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.
