About Caritas
Catholic Lay Apostolate
We primarily create opportunities to encounter the tender heart of a needy brother or sister who may be half a world away. Globally, we promote and foster these loving relationships, not simply an exchange of money.
Through our sponsorship, many people are being nourished by the streams of God’s love and mercy. It’s Caritas (God’s love) for a person in need, and it’s Caritas (God’s love) for a sponsor- because God’s love always flows both ways!
Through CARITAS, many Catholics have found a way to personally make a difference. The impact is real!
Mission and Vision
As a Catholic Lay Apostolate, our mission is to build global relationships that reflect the universal call to “love God with one’s whole heart and one’s neighbor as oneself.” (Matt. 22:37-40).
The vision of CARITAS For Children is to create a worldwide community of sponsors and beneficiaries, where relationships of compassion, generosity, and love foster the practice of true charity…a “living caritas.”
