The purpose of Cursillo is to make Christian community possible in neighborhoods, parishes, work situations and the other places where people live the greater part of their lives. It is a movement, sanctioned by the Church, which offers a way for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian.

Feed My Starving Children provides lifesaving meals to people who need them most all over the world from countries affected by natural disaster to places enduring economic despair. FMSC meals have been distributed to nearly 70 countries through missionary partnerships at orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers. FMSC believes in sustainability - we don’t simply send one shipment of food to a country. Instead, we continue to provide our mission partners with the food they need to maintain their feeding programs.
