Vatican Cardinal Shares Pope’s Blessing for Ukraine Aid
Your support will empower ministry partners like Cardinal Krajewski and the Dicastery for the Service of Charity who provides relief — including generators, clothing and food — to families in Ukraine and refugees who have fled the country.
Pope Francis has imparted a special Apostolic Blessing for Cross Catholic Outreach and its supporters in recognition of the ministry’s support of Ukraine’s children and families. In a letter from the Vatican, Cardinal Krajewski wrote:
“I carry with this venerable gift the thanks of Pope Francis himself for this concrete support of his pastoral initiative, and [the Holy Father] imparts to your ministry a special Apostolic Blessing for grace and divine consolation that from his heart he imparts to you and all the staff of Cross Catholic Outreach.”
Your support will extend the Holy Father’s blessing as we work together to lift up families around the world.
Fruits of Your Faith in Action
Immediate relief and long-term change happen thanks to YOU!
Nutritious Food
One way you feed the hungry is by helping Cross Catholic Outreach ship Vitafood to countries in the developing world. It’s nutritious, delicious and cost-effective — and it’s providing millions of meals each year. Your gift to the Annual Fund Drive helps us deliver even more.
Disaster Relief
When a massive earthquake rocked Haiti in August 2021, more than 100,000 homes, schools, health care facilities and churches were damaged or destroyed. With the backing of caring supporters, we responded quickly with a three-stage relief plan.
Livesaving Water
Supporters like you are playing a critical role in ending the water crisis afflicting poor, rural communities across southern Africa. In 2022, we built 65 life-sustaining wells to supply safe water: four in Ghana, six in Malawi and 55 in Zambia!
Make a Global Impact
When you give to Cross Catholic Outreach, you share hope where it’s needed most. Together, we empower ministry partners in developing countries to make a lasting difference in the lives of the poor — all for the glory of God!
