What is Caritas
Caritas is the charitable arm of the Roman Catholic Church. It is to spearhead the church’s social mission, to respond to humanitarian crisis, promote integral human development and advocate on the causes of poverty and violence.
Announcing the launch of the Penang Diocesan Lenten Campaign 2026!
HOPE IN ACTION
Caring for the poor has always been a beacon of light that illuminates the hearts and paths of Christians throughout the ages. When we shine this light into the world, we ignite hope in the hearts of the less fortunate — those who yearn for help, healing, and deliverance from their troubles.
In solidarity as One Catholic Church, let us take concrete action — through our personal efforts, parish projects, and community initiatives — to help transform lives and bring about a better reality for those in need.
May you always be a Beacon of Light and a Gift of Hope to others through your compassionate actions!
