Lenten Almsgiving for Holy Cross Missions
Bring hope this Lent by supporting the Holy Cross Mission!
As we prepare our hearts for Easter, we invite you to support the Mission of the Congregation of Holy Cross through your Lenten almsgiving efforts.
The Holy Cross Mission Center has supported ministries across the globe for 100 years, during which time the Congregation of Holy Cross has established primary and secondary schools, technical schools, women’s empowerment programs, seminaries and houses of formation, hospitals and pharmacies, family formation ministries, food pantries, and countless parishes.
Wherever Holy Cross priests and brothers go, they go as educators in the faith, sharing the Gospel with their words and witnesses. With your help, the Holy Cross Mission Center will continue to impact the lives of hundreds of thousands each year.

St. Felista’s Catholic Church in Utegi, Tanzania, was formally established in 2014 and has grown into a thriving community of over 2,500 families.

St. Joseph’s School of Industrial Trades located in Dhaka, Bangladesh, provides free training in carpentry, machinery, welding and sheet metal work, repairing and rewinding of electrical appliances, and small engine mechanics for poor boys of religious denominations, especially for school dropouts of both rural and urban areas.

Colegio Fe y Alegría no. 25 in Canto Grande, Peru, is a school sponsored by the Congregation.

More than 20 Holy Cross parishes, schools, residence halls, clubs, and teams in the U.S. are enrolled in the Holy Cross Mission Center’s Twinning Program. If you are already a participant in one of those registered Twinning relationships, you are invited to direct your almsgiving funds to your Twinning partner outside the United States.
