We are the largest charitable organization
on the planet, bringing relief and comfort to those in need.

Just Catholic Charities, Food
for the Poor, Catholic Relief Services, St. Jude's, and America's Second Harvest alone
total $5,570,000,000, which is greater than #1 on the list for America. Keep going
down the list and you find Father Flanagan's homes, Catholic Medical Mission Board,
Covenant House, and more. Add the thousands of other charities, from Missionaries to
the Poor, Amigos for Christ, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, to religious orders (like
Missionaries of Charity) & individual parishes who often do their work in anonymity,
and you will see some of the charitable works of the Catholic Church.
