We Help Because

Wherever there are people in need of food and drink, clothing, housing, medicine, employment, education; wherever men lack the facilities necessary for living a truly human life or are tormented by hardships of poor health, or suffer exile or imprisonment, there Christian Charity should seek them out and find them, console them with eager care and relieve them with the gift of help. This obligation is imposed above all on every prosperous person and nation.
