Welcome

From the Program Director of Catholic Relief Services

Welcome to the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) web page! My name is Adrienne Curry, and I have been in the Office for Peace and Justice for fourteen years. For the past seven years I have been the Diocesan Director for Catholic Relief Services.

Catholic Relief Services carries out the commitment of the Bishops of the United States to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas. We are motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to cherish, preserve and uphold the sacredness and dignity of all human life, foster charity and justice, and embody Catholic social and moral teaching as we act to:

Promote human development by responding to major emergencies, fighting disease and poverty, and nurturing peaceful and just societies; and,

Serve Catholics in the United States as they live their faith in solidarity with their brothers and sisters around the world.

As part of the universal mission of the Catholic Church, we work with local, national and international Catholic institutions and structures, as well as other organizations, to assist people on the basis of need, not creed, race or nationality.

I look forward to providing more educational opportunities to the parishes and schools through the efforts of CRS, as we continue to live out our faith in solidarity with our brothers and sisters overseas.

Sincerely in Christ,

Adrienne Curry, M. Div, D. Min. Candidate
