CWN - April 05, 2013

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops? Subcommittee on the Church in Latin America has granted over $3.1 million to 132 projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Three grants totaling $1.1 million were awarded for the reconstruction of churches in Haiti; the remaining grants will be used for a variety of projects, including diocesan pastoral initiatives, World Youth Day, and the pastoral care of migrants.

In 2012, the subcommittee awarded nearly $6.5 million in grants for Latin American pastoral projects and $5.7 million for church reconstruction in Haiti.

The grants are funded by special collections.
