Caritas Lebanon is a member of Caritas Internationalis, a worldwide confederation which figures among the world’s largest humanitarian networks, counting 162 Catholic organizations working in 200 different countries and territories.
Based upon the Gospel’s love, Caritas Lebanon has a double-purpose mission:
Caritas is appointed by the Church to help people in need and restore their human dignity, regardless of their political, religious or social beliefs.
Caritas seeks to awaken a spirit of solidarity among Lebanese and to encourage the wealthier segments of society to help the poorest.
The church benefits from its available modern techniques and makes use of the Internet network as a communication and Information media to determine an obvious figure of the Catholic Church in Lebanon and the Orient; to show the pluralistic and rich traditions of the Oriental Church; to transmit the voice of the church – pastors and believers in Lebanon – to the different countries of the Lebanese all over the world; to set up spiritual, human and cultural relationships via Electronic mail and chatting ; to explore the recent developments, events and newsvia News Group. Many researchers can also enter to the network’s “golden record” in order to register his impressions and suggestions.
