From the Georgia Bulletin:
In a pre-Lenten letter, Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., urges Atlanta Catholics to support the important work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) amid a freeze of funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID. The pause in funding has created gaps in the work undertaken by CRS. The archbishop released the letter March 3.
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has recently come under intense scrutiny since having their federal funding cut by the Trump administration, as evidenced by the following stories:
