In This Season of Advent

Express the presence of God Catholic Medical Mission Board “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.’” - Matthew 25:40   CMMB volunteer Jenny Jordan at work in Peru Dear Friend, Our Catholic faith has at its heart the idea of service to God through service to one another.     As the story of the Sheep and the Goats in the Gospel of Matthew reminds us, what we do for the “least of our brothers and sisters” is done also for God. Who today is the least among our brothers and sisters if not a child born in poverty, without access to nutritious food and basic health care?   At the Catholic Medical Mission Board, we are dedicated to helping women and children in need. Our work is only possible because of the kindness and devotion to service shown by people like you.
