Company Description

Cross Catholic Outreach is a 501c3 Catholic relief and development ministry that provides food, shelter, medical care, water, education, self-help programs, care for orphans, and emergency relief to the poorest of the poor around the world in the name of Christ. We mobilize the global Catholic Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. Cross Catholic Outreach’s priority is to help “the poorest of the poor.” Our efforts reach those suffering extreme poverty in countries throughout the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Projects include relief for earthquake, flood, and tsunami victims, care and education for orphans and other vulnerable children, housing for the homeless, medicines and health care for the indigent, food for families suffering extreme malnutrition, and clean water for communities that have none, as well as micro-enterprise programs and other long-term development efforts to break the cycle of poverty. In every case, our method of outreach is the same: Cross Catholic locates needy Catholic-based ministries serving the poor and distributes material aid through their existing programs. In all our work we remain dedicated in our service to the Lord as good stewards of His resources in every challenge we seek to overcome. We partner with Dioceses all over the world.
