Catholic Mission
About
Catholic Mission is the official international mission agency of the Catholic Church in Australia, serving as the Australian arm of the Pontifical Mission Societies. They raise funds domestically to provide spiritual and material support to communities in need across developing countries worldwide.
Tips for Applicants
Catholic Mission typically funds its own projects through established partnerships with local Catholic dioceses and mission entities in developing countries. They do not generally have open grant application programs for external organisations or individuals in Australia.
Giving Philosophy
Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the teachings of Jesus Christ, Catholic Mission aims to empower local communities and church leaders. Their approach focuses on fostering self-sufficiency, addressing poverty, and promoting human dignity through partnerships with local dioceses and mission partners.
