When a disaster strikes, we and the Church have an opportunity to manifest the love of Christ by addressing the urgent needs of the poor and vulnerable. You took part in this mission of mercy when you empowered Cross Catholic Outreach and its network of partners on the ground to provide for both immediate needs of the poor and long-term recovery efforts in their communities.
During the 2022 fiscal year, Cross Catholic Outreach donors responded generously to both manmade and natural disasters, including the war in Ukraine, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti and lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. You also supported Hurricane Ida relief in the United States, including the shipment of 116 pallets of personal care items, diapers and other supplies to our partners at Catholic Charities of Acadiana, Louisiana.
