Devotion in Action

Our priests and brothers bring God’s love into action through ongoing works of mercy – all sustained by your prayers and continuing generosity.

We work among the urban and rural poor in the USA and throughout the world. We care for young immigrant families, aging seniors and many others through parish ministry, food programs, clothing distribution centers and more. Learn about our missionary work.
