The beneficiaries of the charity are the general public. Our charitable work is to share in the missionary apostolate of the Church by prayer, and by supplying material and financial aid in those areas where the Church is not yet fully established The direct benefits which flow from the first purpose include the supporting of churches,
priests, sisters and catechists, and the building of churches or places of worship and where these contribute to the mental health or wellbeing of followers. It also includes a better standard of living and better equipment to work with. These benefits are demonstrated through the churches which are then able to reach out to their communities and are also able to help others.

... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The spiritual dimension of apostolic work is what makes it different from many other aid agencies. We are one of the few organisations which actually supports priests, sisters, brothers and catechists in their spiritual and pastoral work. Supporting individuals already working in the area means that no one needs to travel and evaluate the
projects because the missionary knows the exact need of the area and local people. Our aim is to advance Christianity, the relief of poverty, the preservation of health, and advance education. The financial requests are many and varied such as supporting priests, sisters and catechists, buying Mass Kits, and all manner of religious goods and supplies, helping to build churches and supplying miscellaneous medical aids to hospitals and miscellaneous educational and communications aids to schools and orphanages.
