Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor

Join the Relief Effort for Hurricanes Sally and Laura
On September 16, Hurricane Sally slammed into the U.S. Gulf Coast, unleashing nearly three feet of rain in a matter of hours. Just three weeks earlier, Category 4 Hurricane Laura made landfall in Louisiana, tying the record for strongest hurricane to hit the state.
Cross Catholic Outreach is working with the Catholic Charities of New Orleans, the Archdiocese of Mobile, and the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee to provide more than $800,000 in material aid to affected families and children. Relief items include hygiene kits, personal care items, cleaning supplies, and more.
