USCCB Endorsement of Humanitarian work of Catholic Relief Services

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) urgently endorses the critical humanitarian work of Catholic Relief Services around the globe. At this moment, vulnerable communities face immediate peril as essential aid programs have been abruptly terminated. Children risk starvation, families lack shelter and clean water, and life-saving medical care has vanished.

As the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States, CRS serves as our collective hands reaching out to suffering brothers and sisters worldwide. Despite deliberate misinformation circulating on social media about CRS's work, the USCCB affirms the organization's faithful commitment to Catholic teaching and humanitarian principles.

The USCCB, as the authoritative voice of American Catholic leadership, calls upon all Catholics to take immediate action. Contact your congressional representatives today—even if you've already done so—demanding the Administration halt these devastating program terminations and release all appropriated humanitarian funds.

This is not merely a political issue but a fundamental matter of human dignity and life itself. Our moral responsibility as Catholics compels us to act now for those who cannot speak for themselves.
