Diocesan Directors

Catholic Relief Services is grateful to our Diocesan Directors for their dedication to the Catholic community of the United States in inspiring them to live their faith in solidarity with their sisters and brothers around the world. Your example and encouragement make it possible for CRS to advance dioceses.

Diocesan Directors educate Catholics about Catholic social teaching, social justice and CRS’ efforts around the world on behalf of the Church in the United States. Their understanding and support of our work is critical to mobilizing passionate people across the nation to act on behalf of global partnerships, platforms that address hunger, poverty and migration, and our flagship CRS Rice Bowl program.
