QUESTION: Thank you.

You provided me with figures covering donations (Peter's Pence)that the Church can use as revenue.

I am interested in what moneys the Church receives from donors and then itself donates to persons or coiuntries in need, such as happens when thhere is aflood or some other natural disaster, drought, famine.

Sincerely,

Hubert Gratton

Answer
Peace


dear Hebert Gratton,
    I guess the best bet, would be contact either your local diocese to get that information or contact various Catholic charities themselves, such as the Knights of Columbus or The St. Vincent de Paul Society.
