Doomscrolling again?
Here’s your reminder that there’s still good happening in the world. 💧

“Be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
— Ephesians 5:18

Jonathan dressed up in his absolute best clothes. Why? Because receiving a Box of Joy is a celebration he will never forget.

For many kids in extreme poverty, this is the very first gift they have ever received.

Your class or parish can be the reason a child smiles like this!

“It is my desire that the work of Cross Catholic Outreach be ever more widely known and supported. You offer others the opportunity and the path to authentic compassion.”
— Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio

We are honored to share that Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, Archbishop for the Military Services, USA, will officially join the Cross Catholic Outreach Board of Directors beginning June 10.

Ordained for the Diocese of Cleveland in 1977, Archbishop Broglio has devoted decades to faithful service in the Church. In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him to lead the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, a role in which he continues to shepherd and support Catholic men and women serving around the world.

Archbishop Broglio has been a longtime friend of our mission, offering his endorsement in 2015 and encouraging others to embrace the work of compassion and mercy that Cross Catholic Outreach carries forward.

We are grateful for his leadership and his commitment to serving the most vulnerable.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima.

On this day in 1917, “the Lady more brilliant than the sun” ☀️ appeared to three shepherd children, Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco Marto & Jacinta Marto, in Fátima, Portugal. Her apparitions continued through October 1917 during the turmoil of World War I.

The Fátima Prayer 🙏🏻

“O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy. Amen!”

Our Lady of Fátima, pray for us!!
