From its offices in Kerala, CNEWA supports the many ministries of these vital communities \u2013 from support of their programs for the marginalized, including services for those with special needs, children and the elderly, to the support of the formation of priests and religious sisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campaign funds will aid CNEWA\u2019s partners to distribute personal protective equipment, medical care, hygiene kits and food packets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News stories report on the worsening situation in the country \u2014 with deaths now exceeding 250,000. Pope Francis and religious leaders from around the world have called on all persons to pray for an end to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CNEWA accepts donations online at cnewa.ca or by phone at 1-866-322-4441. Cheques can be mailed to CNEWA Canada at 223 Main Street, Ottawa, ON K1S 1C4, marked \u201cEmergency India\u201d. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About CNEWA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An agency of the Holy See, CNEWA works for, through and with the Eastern Catholic churches throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe. Founded by Pope Pius XI in 1926, CNEWA provides pastoral and humanitarian support to the churches and people of the East.
