Our work with children

A core part of our work is the development and sustenance of children in some of the poorest communities around the world.

Ensuring fullness of life for all of God’s children requires, at a minimum, shelter, food and education. In many communities in which we work, our programs entail a combination of these critical pillars.

  1. Funds distributed to our work with children:
    3300000
  2. Children’s projects directly supported by Catholic Mission:
    135
  3. Children directly benefited from Catholic Mission programs:
    56878

Our work with church leaders is all about equipping young men and women in developing countries with the skills and knowledge to lead their local faith communities towards peace and prosperity.

At a crucial time for the global Church’s leadership, there are few more important steps than the formation of seminarians and novices. In places of conflict, economic hardship and disunity, Church leaders play an important role in bringing about peace through dialogue and strong leadership.

  1. Funds distributed to our work with Church leaders:
    840000
  2. Seminarians directly supported by Catholic Mission:
    2080
  3. Novices supported around the world:
    4220
