Christ Bearer Catholic Ministries is a Catholic lay apostolate with a single mission: to bear Christ to the world in both word and work. Our name is our mission — from the Greek Christophoros, "Christ-bearer," the vocation of every disciple: to receive Christ and carry Him to everyone we meet.
We publish Catholic works rooted in Sacred Scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the great traditions of the faith — spreading the Gospel through the written word.
We serve Christ in the marginalized and the suffering through the corporal works of mercy: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick and imprisoned, and bury the dead.
“To know Christ, to bear Christ, and to give Him to the world.”
A faith that is proclaimed and a mercy that is practiced. Christophoros — a Christ-bearer.
Devotion isn't sentiment; it's formation — drawn from the depth of the Catholic tradition: the saints, Scripture, and the liturgical year.
Small, faithful habits of prayer change a life. We make the next step obvious and doable.
Resources rooted in the fullness of the faith — depth without jargon, formation that lasts.
The faith is meant to be shared. Become a Christ-bearer in your family, parish, and community.
Lifelong faithful, finding your way back, or simply curious — there's a place to begin.
New devotionals and reflections — delivered here and to your inbox.
