Catholic Relief Services was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. Our mission 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. Working through local offices and an extensive network of partners, CRS operates on five continents and in 98 countries. We aid the poor by first providing direct assistance where needed, then encouraging people to help with their own development. Together, these approaches foster secure, productive, just communities that enable people to realize their potential.
As the official international relief and development agency of the U.S. Catholic community, CRS is also committed to educating the people of the United States to fulfill their moral responsibilities toward our global brothers and sisters by helping the poor, working to remove the causes of poverty, and promoting social justice.

Concern
Pastoral Visitors bring Communion to parish members who are house-bound. This ministry lets them know that they are still part of the spiritual life of the church. Hospital Visitors visit the hospital during the week assuring patients that they are in our prayers, as well as just "listening" to them. Bereavement offers comfort and condolences to families in the loss of their loved one. We may represent the parish at the wake or funeral Mass and assist in the use of the Family Room after the services at the cemetery. People are helped to feel that through their faith in God and the love of the family and friends they are not forgotten in their time of sorrow.
