The CRS Church Engagement Team works to anchor the U.S. Church's Catholic identity deeply in global compassion and action. By working closely with key church leaders and partners, we aim to spark transformation through community giving, advocacy, and movement building.

We support bishops, clergy, seminarians, dioceses, and national partners throughout the U.S., engaging them in social justice and solidarity through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. We connect the U.S. Church's love for the world with tangible change!  

Opportunities for engagement, tools, and resources:

• Global Fellows Program - Catholic Relief Services’ Global Fellows are a network of priests and deacons who have a love for the global Church and for proclaiming Jesus’ commandment to love our neighbor. They engage Catholics in the United States by witnessing CRS’ lifesaving work and sharing their experiences with their communities. For more information contact us at globalfellows@crs.org
• CRS Campaigns — resources and tools to pray, learn, take action and inspire your community to support our sisters and brothers most in need around the world.
• Action Center: Resources and Tools — resources and tools to help you advocate effectively
• CRS Chapters  — Ask us how you can become part of a CRS Chapter, through which you can take meaningful actions on behalf of our most vulnerable sisters and brothers around the world.
• Community Giving - CRS fundraising options to discover ways you and your community can make a difference
• CRS Rice Bowl — Through CRS Rice Bowl, faith communities in dioceses throughout the United States put their faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
