Spanning from the Middle East to Eastern Europe, and from India to the Horn of Africa, the Eastern Catholic Churches possess a spiritual, liturgical, and theological heritage of exceptional richness. They also demonstrate remarkable missionary vitality in the service of prayer, charity, and the transmission of the faith.
For 170 years, L’Œuvre d’Orient has supported the Eastern Catholic Churches; throughout the ages, it has remained attentive to the concrete realities faced by Christian communities in the East.
Supporting them today means working toward a future of dignity, dialogue, and hope for the societies to which they belong—and, beyond that, for our world.
Below, you’ll find content (country profiles, projects, news) about each of the countries where we support communities in fulfilling their missions for the benefit of all.
