Help spread the warmth of the Manger around the world this Christmas
Christmas should be a season of joy for Christians worldwide, particularly for children who are called by their name in God’s redeeming glory.

Yet three-year-old Daria in Bucha, Ukraine, will have a tough time celebrating after losing the warmth of the family home to shelling.

Seven-year-old Abdi, from northern Ethiopia, will struggle to find joy after two years of hunger, a product of the severe drought and conflict afflicting his country.

The children of Matagalpa in Nicaragua, where the Christian faith is subordinated to the fears and ambitions of the powerful, will be afraid of celebrating the season with their community during Midnight Mass following the arbitrary arrest of the local bishop and several priests.

Missionaries are not just doing charity throughout the world: They are extending Christ’s healing and His entire ministry to people in dire need of it. They are building churches, educating children, and healing physical and psychological wounds caused by war, cruelty, oppression, terror, and despair. They are bearing witness to the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

With your donation, you will be helping the Universal Church make Christ present throughout the world, particularly where He has been doubted, ignored, and shunned.
