To play a role in changing the world.

Caritas Norway is the development and relief organisation of the Catholic Church. The primary objectives are to support programmes in poor countries within the areas of development co-operation, human rights, peace and reconciliation work and emergency relief; to motivate the Catholics in Norway towards developing solidarity with the economically poor in other countries, and to increase awareness of unjust social structures and the causes of poverty. Domestically, the most important role is to aid the parishes in the development of welfare work for refugees, immigrants, children and the elderly.
