Help him care for orphans, prepare church leaders, support people in need

Amidst the upheavals and challenges of the modern world, CNEWA (Catholic Near East Welfare Association)
has been a lifeline for those in need throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe
for more than 80 years.

Founded in 1926 by Pope Pius XI, CNEWA:

* supports the pastoral mission and works of the Eastern Catholic churches.

* provides humanitarian assistance without regard to nationality or creed.

* promotes Christian unity and interreligious understanding and collaboration.

* educates people in the West about the history, cultures, peoples and churches of the East.

CNEWA does not have inflexible priorities - they are set based upon time, place and urgency.

From training priests to serve the people of God in India to providing clean water systems to war-damaged villages in Lebanon - from providing job opportunities to unemployed Palestinians to caring for orphaned children in Ethiopia - from providing health care to the poor in Iraq to awarding scholarships for Orthodox priests to study in Catholic universities in Rome, CNEWA connects generous North Americans with those in need living in some of the remotest parts of the world.

CNEWA publishes a bimonthly magazine, ONE. Its name identifies the real spirit of CNEWA and its work - it is about one God, one world, one family and one church. Help Now
