Where Mercy Takes Root, Transformation Blooms

This Christmas, we invite you to witness something profound—not charity as the world knows it, but the economy of God in action. Across continents, in forgotten villages and crowded cities, ordinary people are discovering an extraordinary truth: when we stand together in Christ's light, the lifted become lifters, and mercy multiplies beyond imagination.

In Ghana, 100 faithful souls gathered under a mango tree for Mass while their chapel crumbled around them. Rain or shine, nothing stopped their praise. Today, they stand in their new Chapel of St. Paul

Your Place in the Story

When you give to Catholic World Mission, you're not sending aid to distant places. You're joining a family that spans the globe.

 

This Christmas, we offer three ways to join this sacred work:

1.

Stand in Prayer. Join thousands worldwide lifting their hearts in prayer this Advent. Submit your intentions to be carried to communities across the world where they become part of the prayers offered at Mass, in chapels, and in family gatherings.​

Stand in Generosity. Your gift—whatever the size—enters the circuit of mercy. Watch how $25 feeds a child who grows strong enough to teach others. See how $100 builds walls that shelter faith for generations. Witness how $1,000 creates a transformation that ripples through entire regions.

Stand in Witness. Share these stories. Tell others about communities that sing under mango trees, mothers who serve despite poverty, and children who walk miles for education.
