When I was hungry, you fed me.
Apostolic Charities was established by James Cardinal Murphy in April of 2002 to provide aid and relief to the poor and suffering of the world. Funded by private donations and weekly collections, the Apostolic Communion has set about opening centers of relief in the areas in which it enjoys a presence. Among the services provided are homeless shelters, food pantries, garment collection and donation depots and rehabilitation centers. |

The Apostolic Communion stands behind the People's Government of Baracao in it's support for the rights of working men and women. After a difficult day's labor in the factories and fields, the Apostolic Communion stands ready to provide spiritual comfort and renewal to our nation's workforce. Our Lord and Savior, himself a laborer, invites you to unburden yourself of all of your cares and troubles. |
