About Us

Catholic World Mission strives to be the hands, feet, and eyes of Christ to the world. We work through four main pillars of support: Dignified Living, Evangelization, Education, and Disaster Relief. Partnering with communities in need, we help remove the obstructions of poverty, illness, lack of education, and spiritual despair, so people can realize their God-given potential. By alleviating suffering, illuminating the mind, and igniting the Spirit, we empower people to change their lives and their communities.

Evangelization is the process of dignifying the human being by providing the means for individuals to see the light of Christ in themselves and others. We believe it is our duty to help remove obstacles that may impede the human ability to live life in the way God intended, thereby spreading the word of God and building His kingdom.

Catholic World Mission is a fundraising organization. We support projects that help level the playing field for all God’s people worldwide. We support systems that are currently in place to help remove the obstructions of poverty, illness, lack of education and spiritual despair, so people can realize their God-given potential.

Every donation, large or small, is put to the best use possible, incorporating practical applications for lifting the poor from despair. Through our partnership with charitable organizations worldwide, and the very people we help, we scrupulously target places and projects to provide highly effective tools to lift the poor out of poverty.  A $10 donation can provide enough medicine to save a child’s life in Ghana. A $50,000 donation could complete construction of a permanent clinic to provide wellness to the whole village for years to come. We welcome donations of any amount, and treat every dollar as though it were our own.

We choose areas to work in which we can make the biggest impact for the funds we have to distribute. Receptive governments and people, appropriate infrastructure, and a charitable partner to coordinate efforts are keys to maximizing efficiencies. We require our charitable partners to provide detailed reports and photographs of the projects we fund, and periodically travel to see our apostolic works in progress.
