About Us
Catholic World Mission bridges the gap between donors and partners to uplift those in spiritual and material poverty.
Our Mission Rises on Three Pillars
DIGNIFIED LIVING
Bridges the gap of poverty
Meeting the material and spiritual needs of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters in Christ. Clean drinking water, sanitation projects, goats for milk and meat, and a dormitoryare just some of projects our donors havehelped turn into reality.
Our Partnership Model
We use our Trinitarian Approach in every project which involves three major groups.
-
Our generous Catholic World Mission family of supporters
-
A trusted partner (such as dedicated priests, bishops, religious orders, or lay people)
-
The community itself
Our partners come to us for help because they trust our process and know we intend to lift up their projects.
We assure our benefactors that we are good stewards of their hard-earned dollars. We vet all potential partners to ensure integrity, and we require an endorsement from the local bishop to approve each project.
Through our formal funds-distribution process, our partners are obligated to provide materials illustrating how the use of funds transformed the community.
