Catholicity

In fundraising we are one charity with many national offices.

In administering funds we are responsive to the suffering Church in all parts of the world.

Service

In dealing with project partners we emphasise attentive listening, frank consultation and respect for the authority of the local bishop.

Subsidiarity

In sponsoring specific projects we take care not to replace any local means of solidarity, but rather to encourage and complement them.

In fundraising and in the relations with benefactors, our national offices work as far as possible on their own initiative.

Effective solidarity

By organising ourselves with a common headquarters and a centralised project administration system, we achieve maximum efficiency for an international family of benefactors.
