Please do not donate to CRS...Catholic Relief Services. Read this...

Bumping it up...anticipating that catholic churches are collecting again for CRS during lent.
Pleased, find another charity.
Some are mentioned in the previous post.
Avoid Catholic Relief Srvices!

 

Thank you so much for this thread. Our parish chose to participate in CRS. Having been made aware of their beliefs by this thread and other sites, I refuse to write a check to them. Instead, I plan to write a check to our local parish's Food Bank, which serves very poor people in our community.

I have been looking for other charities where the money given is used directly for the needy.

 

I too will donate to my local food bank. Not one dime for Catholic Relief Services...CRS. It is so scandal ridden and yet our modernist church continues to fund them with the pew sitters money.....and they know better.
Our bishops know the truth, yet they CHOOSE to ignore it....and promote it.
I’m seriously done donating my money to the church. There are plenty of worthy charities that need it.
I’ve read the previous post suggestions recommending Mary’s Meals and Food for the Poor as well.

 

Exactly, in the magazines we receive from the Bishop, I am tired of reading article after article about climate change and social justice, and not a peep about spiritual development of the laity, or the consequences of sin. Little or no mention of Jesus. I plan to give more to EWTN, because their programming and evangelical work reaches millions. God bless Mother Angelica for creating this network. I pray that they stay faithful to the Magisterium of the Church and their foundress and not stray into modernism.

 

There are many needy people where i live. I have 2 friends who have lost almost everything in a fire. I choose to give right to the person. There are also a few Shrines that i try to support in little ways. Masses for the holy souls through the Seraphic Mass Association. Also food banks run by the Church for local Families. I do not know if what im doing is right but i just try and follow my heart.

 

I’m fortunate to live close to convents that are the home to two very faithful orders of nuns. They need financial help to cover the stipens for daily mass and operations. Having masses said for our loved ones, our church and clerics might be a good alternative for our Lenten offerings as well.

 

Beth post their website please. I am being very careful where donations go these days. It's good to know of places to support.

 

Sounds right to me.

Sounds right to me.

 

Donate to: Priests for Life, Human Life Int'l or Food for the Poor

 

No one wants the truth when they want something else. God bless... Gary

 

Aid to the Church in Need: Vatican run but seems good.

Cross Catholic is another good one:
https://crosscatholic.org

both accept the fast and easy Paypal.

 

That is a very interesting story QED. I love how it ended. You were as wise as a serpent and as gentle as a dove. Gifts of the Holy Spirit!!

 

AED...which charities do you want the links for? I’ll look them up!

Food for the poor or Mary’s meals?

Here is one called food for the poor...endorsed by Laura Ingraham.

This is my favorite:

https://mercuryone.org/tnfdonations/
The Nazarene Fund

Mary’s Meals:
https://www.marysmealsusa.org/

And you can have masses said for the salvation of souls.

 

I've given to CRS in the past. I didn't know they supported abortion groups. Does anyone know if Salesian Missions is a good charity? I've given to them too.

 

Boy, I’m glad you asked.

I just looked it up, and they are not good.

This is what I found:

Salesian Missions Promote Masturbation, Contraception

https://www.lepantoinstitute.org/salesian-missions-promote-masturbation-contraception/

This information comes from the Lepanto Institute, a well respected Catholic Organization.

Open the above link for details.

 

They turned up on the radar screen very early as having some bad apples. I wouldnt give them $. Poor St John Bosco. He must be deeply sad.

 

So many good catholic institutions have been sullied by these evil men bent on destroying our church.

We need to expose them all to clean and heal our church....and we will. The gates of hell will not prevail.

God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."
1 Corinthians 5:13

 

Someone once told me to google fraud and scandal with the name of any person or organization before you donate to them to see what might turn up.

A friend of mine was going to write out a huge check to a visiting missionary priest after he made a appeal at a mass she attended.

When her son cautioned her to check up on him via the internet, she found his name associated with multiple fraud and scandals, Fortunately before she mailed her check.

I do this on a regular basis now.

It’s very sad to think that someone would defraud you in the name of Christianity, but it happens routinely.

Just sad...

 

Yep.
