With the pandemic, strife over racial justice and unprecedented late summer fires dominating life, the venerable Catholic agency has built its capacities for disaster relief and social and racial justice. In other parts of the country, like the hurricane-prone Gulf Coast, Catholic Charities outlets have long had a hand in disaster aid.

$25,000 for new churches in India, with love from Somersworth, Rollinsford By Jenne Holmes It’s not every day you get to help build a church, let alone one that is 7,632 miles away.

While they may not have physically had a hand in building the church, without their generosity, the Mary Immaculate Church for the community of Yurembam in India could not have become a reality today. Yurembam is a small village located in the Manipur Province of North East India and home to the Catholic Parish of St. Paul’s.
