Two powerful earthquakes struck about 100 miles west of Caracas on Wednesday night, causing widespread destruction across parts of Venezuela. Your gift is needed for immediate response to the earthquakes in #Venezuela: brnw.ch/21x3E5X.

We had the privilege of being part of something truly special last night at the @Brewers game. CRS was honored to watch Fr. Javier Bustos of Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady Queen of Peace parishes in the @archmil throw out the ceremonial first pitch!

A small investment can create big change. In The Gambia, Dam Gaye more than doubled his income after receiving support to grow his poultry business. Now he's paying it forward, giving 50 chicks to his brother to start his own. Read his story: brnw.ch/21x4gGv

We are all part of one human family.

At the @ICT4DConference in Nairobi in May, we led a session w/ @CatholicRelief + @eGovFoundation exploring the transition from fragmented tools to a coordinated digital public infrastructure using DIGIT HCM. Read our key takeaways: brnw.ch/21x3UK3 #DigitalHealth

Damage from two back-to-back earthquakes that struck Venezuela June 24 is “a lot worse than expected,” said a @CatholicRelief disaster response worker, who asked people to “keep Venezuelans in their hearts.” Arriving in Venezuela July 9, Robyn Fieser — who is coordinating CRS emergency communications on the ground — found “there were literally blocks of buildings that were just pancaked onto themselves. There was massive destruction for blocks.” Catholic leaders and organizations quickly mobilized to provide aid, with CRS — the @USCCB's official overseas humanitarian and development agency — “working extremely closely” with its in-country partner Caritas Venezuela, a CRS spokesperson told OSV News. CRS and Caritas Venezuela have together distributed hundreds of emergency food and hygiene kits, along with tarpaulins for shelter.

A mosquito net does more than protect a night's sleep it can save a life. CRS is supporting Mali's National Malaria Control Program to distribute 11M+ free malaria nets across 53 districts, 8 regions with funding from the @GlobalFund. #EndMalaria

In many parts of Burundi, seeing girls and women ride bicycles is still uncommon. But in eastern Burundi’s Kumoso region, bikes are helping women and girls get where they need to go, whether it's school, the market, collecting water or spending time with friends.

We are all together, one Church helping, giving love and bringing hope. Since the earthquakes in Venezuela, @caritasdevzla has reached nearly 18,000 people with food, safe water, hygiene kits, medical supplies & emotional support. CRS is supporting. brnw.ch/21x3E5X.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha, known as the "Lily of the Mohawks," was the first Native American saint from North America. As the patron saint of ecology and the environment, St. Kateri reminds us that caring for creation is one way we honor God's love.

CRS is on the ground in Venezuela, supporting @caritasdevzla & local church partners, in the form of round-the-clock reception of supplies & delivery of relief. CRS spoke to @EWTNNewsNightly about the response and how we're able to reach families is the hardest hit areas. Watch⬇️

Clean water is not only about convenience—it is about survival.

"Love is also loss," Pope Leo XIV said during a recent weekly address to pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square. But he also reminds us, “Love for the Lord always involves welcoming our brothers and sisters.”

At the 2026 Hamburg Sustainability Conference, a new Call to Action was launched — calling on governments, private sector & civil society to scale up food fortification & end child malnutrition by 2030. We're proud to stand behind it. #HSC26 brnw.ch/21x3USx @BMZ_Bund

Today, the United States celebrates its 250th Independence Day. As we give thanks for our freedoms, join us in praying this prayer from St. John Fisher Roman Catholic Church.
