Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
Seminarians from Theological College in Washington, D.C., joined Cross Catholic Outreach on a mission trip to bless Guatemalan children.
Cross Catholic Outreach is committed to helping faith-filled Catholics in the United States engage with the Church’s merciful work around the world. Our Outreach Priests support this mission by visiting parishes and theological seminaries throughout the country to provide information, share meaningful stories and help U.S. Catholics recognize their vital role in addressing extreme poverty.
When you host a seminary presentation from our Outreach Priests, your seminarians will gain a better understanding of:
