Home > Join CNEWA’s New Program

Be a part of Communitas CNEWA, a new program formed as we begin our second century of service in support of our mission of healing and hope.

COMMUNITAS, n., Latin, a bond of shared humanity and deep fellowship.

CNEWA gives thanks for the prayerful and generous support of its friends like you. For 100 years, we have made a powerful impact throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe, offering a broken world healing and hope. Together, we have been touched by the deep sense of community and family on display, even in regions marked by economic hardship, ethnic tension and social conflict.

When our partners on the ground are asked the question posed by the Lord, “And who is my neighbor?” their answer has been clear: Anyone in need. United in loving-kindness, they live out Christ’s call to “go and do likewise.”

This is the spirit of communitas — a Latin term describing the bonds of fellowship and shared humanity among people united by a common mission — and it is evident wherever CNEWA is present.

Thanks to you and your support, the priests, religious sisters and lay teams who serve as our “boots on the ground” are armed not with weapons of war, but with tools — academic, pastoral and spiritual — that, forged by faith, live out the joy of the Gospel.

Join Us!

CNEWA’s mission of healing and hope is made possible by their witness and by your prayerful and generous support. In this spirit, we invite you to become a founding member of Communitas CNEWA, a fellowship of committed supporters who sustain this work through a monthly financial commitment.

As a member of Communitas CNEWA, you will receive:

• An annual subscription to ONE, CNEWA’s award-winning publication
• Invitations to special events, reports and online briefings with our partners in the field
• Opportunities to connect more deeply with the Eastern churches and the people they serve.

We invite you to deepen your commitment to the church as it seeks to build the common good, ending injustice and human suffering.

Join us as one united community as CNEWA begins its next century of service. Please consider making your monthly gift and extend this invitation to others you may feel called to be a part of our mission!
