Catholic World Mission bridges the gap between donors and partners to uplift those in spiritual and material poverty.
Catholic World Mission is recognized in the Official Catholic Directory and affiliated with the Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi. Our work extends the missionary outreach of the Catholic Church by empowering local Church leaders, missionaries, and lay faithful to bring Christ’s light to communities around the world. Everything we do flows from our mission to spread the Catholic faith and strengthen the Church’s presence where it is most needed.

At Catholic World Mission, we entrust every project to the wisdom and guidance of the Catholic Church. We vet all potential partners to ensure integrity and alignment with the Catholic Faith, 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 and spread the Catholic Faith!
