As Catholics around the world begin the Guadalupan Jubilee Year, we turn to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and a powerful sign of God's love for all people.

This special year, running from October 12, 2026, to October 12, 2027, invites us to deepen our faith through prayer, conversion, works of mercy and renewed hope.

May the words of Our Lady to St. Juan Diego continue to guide us: "Am I not here, I who am your Mother?"

Join us as we celebrate this year, drawing closer to Christ through the loving care of Our Lady of Guadalupe and recommitting ourselves to building a world rooted in faith, justice and compassion.

On , we celebrate girls like Keicha and Edlina in Haiti, whose dreams are growing brighter with the power of education.

Standing proudly with their new schoolbooks, these students are just two of the many girls gaining the tools they need to learn, thrive and build a better future for themselves and their families.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, students around the world have access to school supplies, nutritious meals, trained teachers and the quality education every child deserves.

When girls can learn, communities grow stronger.

Anatolii and his wife, Liubov, spent their entire lives in eastern Ukraine. Their home, their work, their memories and even generations of family history were rooted there. But as fighting intensified, they were forced to flee with little time to spare.

💬"We barely made it out," Anatolii recalls.

Today, they are rebuilding their lives in a small village far from the front lines. The quiet is a welcome change. No explosions. No drones overhead. No middle-of-the-night decisions about whether it's time to run.

The couple found shelter in an aging house that needed significant repairs. Through the Multi-Sectoral Assistance to People Affected by the War in Ukraine project, funded by U.S. Department of State, CRS’ local partner, Caritas Ukraine, visited the family and assessed their living conditions.

Planned upgrades, including new windows and doors, will help make the house warmer, more comfortable and safer.

For Anatolii and Liubov, rebuilding isn't about having the perfect home. It's about having a safe place to live, staying warm through the winter, and finding the stability to move forward after losing so much.

Across Ukraine, displaced families are working every day to rebuild their lives. With the right support, they can begin to create a sense of home once again.

In eastern Guatemala, members of the Minas Arriba community spent long hours under the hot sun turning a dream into reality. As some mixed cement and others filled molds, nearly 4,000 bricks took shape, each one helping build the community's first health center.

Behind every brick was a shared belief: their families' health and well-being were worth every hour of work.

More than a construction project, the health center stands as a testament to what is possible when a community comes together to invest in its future. It reflects the time, trust and commitment of people who chose not to wait for change, but to create it themselves.

On this Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, we join Pope Leo XIV in praying for peace in our world.

Throughout October, the Holy Father invites us to pray the Rosary "with the particular intention that wars may cease and that peace may be established among peoples in conflict."

Pope Leo reminds us that "prayers must always be accompanied by good deeds and acts of love. That's how peace grows!"

Today, let us turn to Our Lady of the Rosary in prayer, and let us answer that prayer with acts of mercy, charity, dialogue and reconciliation.

A prayer to guide you in caring for creation and one another. 🙏

As we celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi during this special Jubilee Year, let us follow his example of humility, compassion and care for our common home. May we see Christ in all people and all creation.

For families living in remote communities near the front lines in Ukraine, accessing basic necessities can be a daily challenge. Andrii has lived his entire life in a small in southeastern Ukraine, where there are no grocery stores and a mobile shop visits just once a week.

Traveling to a nearby town for household supplies takes time and money that many families can scarcely afford. To help families in remote, frontline communities access essential hygiene supplies, Catholic Relief Services’ local partner, Caritas Ukraine, is distributing hygiene kits containing soap, laundry detergent, towels and cleaning supplies.

By bringing these essentials directly to communities where access to stores is limited, the project helps families meet their everyday needs without the additional cost of traveling to purchase them.

Living on a small pension, Andrii says these supplies make a real difference for his family.

💬"This is a tremendous help for our family. Thank you so much."

The kits, which are provided through the Multi-Sectoral Assistance to People Affected by the War in Ukraine project, funded by U.S. Department of State, are helping older adults, people with disabilities, displaced families and others facing hardship across the Zaporizhzhia region, ensuring that even in the midst of conflict, families can maintain their health, dignity and hope.
