Pope Francis has spoken of the sorrow and pain that the world is experiencing due to the Coronavirus. The season of Lent, he explains, “trains us to show solidarity with others, especially those who suffer.” This Emergency Solidarity Fund will assist those in the Pope’s missions who have been affected by the pandemic, as it supports religious Sisters and Brothers, priests, and lay pastoral workers who reach out through hospitals and small clinics, and parish and social ministries, providing vital health care, as well as basic needs, including food and shelter. 100% of your donation will be directed to those efforts in the Pope’s missions at this critical moment.
