    In Their Own Hands CRS 2030 STRATEGY VIETNAM Photo by Lisa Murray for CRS ‘Solidarity ... is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good … to the good of all and of each individual.’ SOLLICITUDO REI SOCIALIS #38 2 CRS VISION 2030 STRATEGY A Message From Our President & CEO At Catholic Relief Services, we are dedicated to putting our faith into action to do whatever it takes to build a world in which all people reach their full human potential in the context of just and peaceful societies. We have a vision for a world that respects the sacredness and dignity of the human person and the integrity of all of God’s creation. Our mission is a faith-filled call to serve others—based on need, not creed, race or nationality—as taught in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prioritizing the most vulnerable and marginalized among us. I am proud of CRS’ 75 years of global solidarity and service to our sisters and brothers around the world. From responding to the humanitarian needs of migrants and refugees during World War II to programs and services that today reach over 130 million people across 110 countries, our enduring mission inspires and guides us. In our new strategy, we look to the evolving needs and opportunities of the people we serve and their local institutions, and challenge ourselves to be bolder and more ambitious in our aspirations to not only catalyze transformational change to combat poverty, injustice and violence, but to achieve these results at greater scale.

Two hundred and fifty of them were on a pilgrimage to Graymoor that day. The blessing was followed by a Solemn High Mass at the Shrine also celebrated by Father Paul. Mother Lurana wrote: “Let us love our dear Lady devotedly, but let us not be content with offering her our own hearts, let us be missionaries and reach out for other hearts and more love with which to increase the Joy of Mary.” To this day, our outdoor Shrine of Our Lady of the Atonement provides a place for prayer, petitions and devotion to Our Blessed Mother for many visitors and friends of Graymoor. ministering among God’s people.

    COMMUNITY REFLECTIONS DON’T LENT IS A GO IT JOURNEY. ALONE. “No one is saved by himself or herself, individually, or by his or her own efforts. God attracts us by taking into account the complex interweaving of personal relationships entailed in the life of a human community. This people which God has chosen and called is the Church.” — Pope Francis, #113 Evangelii Gaudium 2 WEEK ONE XXXXX Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Put simply, the reflections found in this book are an effort to provide the tools necessary to create a prayerful community of faith and support — and if you’re using them to that end, then you’re using this book correctly. Catholic social teaching reminds us that we are called to be in community, and so in that spirit, you’ll find five weekly Community Reflections to use with your own faith community in the pages that follow. Each reflection takes roughly an hour to an hour and a half and may require simple materials depending on the activities (e.g., pens, paper, a Rice Bowl, a computer, etc.). Scripture passages that shed light on issues of What is Lent? Catholic social teaching, guided reflection questions, hands-on activities and Lent is forty days of calls to action are some of the staple components of the following reflections, opportunity to slow down but feel free to tailor each to fit the needs of your community. and take account of our There are a lot more resources to be found online — visit crsricebowl.org to lives: who we are, what find additional materials that will bring your Lenten journey to life, and visit we’re about and where university.crs.org to discover new ways to engage your campus community we’re going.

  • Comments by Dr. Carolyn Woo, President of Catholic Relief Services at the Press Conference for Laudato Si’ – the Encyclical by Pope Francis Rome, June 18, 2015
    Comments by Dr. Carolyn Woo, President of Catholic Relief Services at the Press Conference for Laudato Si’ – the Encyclical by Pope Francis Rome, June 18, 2015 Thank you very much, it’s a tremendous honor for me. As we are talking about nature and ecology, one statement comes to mind, and it’s about you as a wonderful audience who has been very patient. There is a saying that the mind can only absorb what the seat can endure. So I hope nature gave you long seats. I also want to say thank you particularly to Caritas Internationalis. Catholic Relief Services is the American member of Caritas Internationalis, a federation of 164 Caritas agencies, and we have been working over the last year preparing for the launch of this encyclical and how we could propagate it throughout the world, down to the very level of the parishes. So I just want to say on behalf of Caritas Internationalis I am also here. My audience today is the business audience, and I have a number of things to say. First of all I think of the question posed by the Pope, “What kind of world do we want to leave those who come after us, to the children who are now growing up”? Well, I am a mother and someday I look forward to being a grandmother, and I think that question is completely relevant to each of us and, of course, to business. The Pope calls for ecological conversion, and again I think it’s relevant to people and organizations, but that conversion today begins with consciousness.

  • Catholic Relief Services Fact Sheet
    Food Aid Project: Catholic Relief Services Fact Sheet Mission and Overview: Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States and serves as the official relief and development agency of the Catholic Church. The mission of CRS is to assist the poor and disadvantaged, leveraging the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to alleviate human suffering, promote development of all people and to foster charity and justice throughout the world. Program Areas: CRS operates on 5 continents and in 99 countries through an extensive network of partners around the globe, providing humanitarian relief and development assistance in the fields of community health and HIV/AIDS, peace and justice, education, agriculture, microfinance, and emergency response. In addition to providing immediate response to emergency situations, CRS is also dedicated to addressing the root causes of disasters, violence, and suffering in order to truly help communities find paths to long-term recovery and rehabilitation. Central to this vision are common themes that are present throughout each CRS program: capacity building, food security, gender, and justice. CRS also works to inform and engage American Catholics about poverty and injustice overseas. CRS supports local parish outreach, fair trade, farmer to farmer support, advocacy, and high school and college programs in the U.S. Financial Information: In FY 2004, CRS’ annual operating expenses totaled $571,495. Almost half of this amount was spent on emergency relief programs, with the remainder of program expenses divided between agriculture, education, HIV/AIDS, and other development programs. CRS maintains a low overhead cost structure, with almost 95% of funds going directly to programs.
