Mission Fund
In 2008, the Flatley family of Boston contributed $10 million to the Papal Foundation for a special Mission Fund that would feed the hungry, tend to the sick, provide shelter to those with none, and otherwise support the charitable works of the Catholic Church throughout the world. The Flatley family had a special relationship with Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta and supported her efforts during her lifetime and continue to support the eleemosynary work of the Missionaries of Charity through Mission Fund grants. The Flatley family has made generous donations over the years to the Fund, and other donors have stepped forward to contribute to it as well.
The Mission Fund – Doing Small Things With Great Love has awarded over $18 million dollars over the past 14 years to the poorest among us in more than 60 countries.
Mission Fund grants have created shelters for the poor, soup kitchens to feed the hungry and employment training for orphans and abandoned children. Mission Fund grants also help hospitals in poor countries to obtain medical equipment, and provides medicine, medical services, and food for the sick and hungry.
Please support the Mission Fund by making a donation.
