About Catholic Relief Service CRS

The Catholic Bishops of the United States established Catholic Relief Services in 1943 to aid World War II survivors in Europe. Since that time, we've grown to a level where we now serve more than 130 million individuals across more than 100 nations and five continents.

Our mission has been to help underprivileged and disadvantaged people worldwide for more than 75 years. We do this by promoting the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the human person in accordance with Catholic social teaching.

 Our operations support people based only on need, regardless of their race, creed, or ethnicity, despite the fact that our mission is grounded in the Catholic faith. CRS encourages Catholics in the US to practice their faith by standing in solidarity with the underprivileged and suffering people of the world.

CRS is inspired to alleviate suffering, aid in development, and promote kindness and justice by the example of Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to upholding a set of guiding principles and hold one another accountable for them.

Watch what transpires when tiny miracles affect the lives of the world's most disadvantaged individuals. Witness the optimism and life-saving assistance that Catholic Relief Services offers. Look at the extent to which your heart is capable.

CRS is governed by a board of directors made up of clergy, the majority of whom are bishops chosen by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as religious and Catholic lay people. CRS serves as the official international humanitarian organization of the Catholic community in the United States.
