Charity begins at home. But as Christians, we are called to reach beyond our individual households and neighborhoods, and to live in spiritual solidarity with our brothers and sisters in our larger community and throughout the world. And as Catholics, we are given unique opportunities to make these broader connections through Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official global outreach ministry of the U.S. Catholic Church.

We encourage you to check this page and the parish bulletin regularly for these opportunities to be the compassionate face of Christ to the world.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions:

Ensuring Conditions for Vulnerable Children to Survive and Thrive is Critical to Our World’s Future. Toward that end, Congress has introduced The Global Child Thrive Act (H.R. 4864 and S. 2715), with bipartisan support.
This act would integrate Early Childhood Development into development and emergency humanitarian programs serving vulnerable children and their families, helping them recover from the COVID-19 virus and building their resilience to future emergencies and trauma. The bill does not call for additional funding, just a small modification of current foreign aid programs that serve young children to ensure greatest impact. 

The bill has passed the House. Now Senators Young and Braun need to hear from you.
