Cross International

Helping the Poor in the Name of Christ

Cross International Catholic Outreach's priority is to help "the poorest of the poor." Our ministry began in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and home to some of the most destitute people in our modern world. Efforts have since grown to reach those suffering extreme poverty in other Caribbean countries as well as countries throughout 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 International Catholic Outreach locates needy church-based ministries serving the poor and distributes material aid through their existing programs. In this way, we can supply meaningful help where it is needed most.  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.
