CARITAS For Children is searching for Deacons who want the opportunity to grow their own mini-Catholic Apostolate right from their own Diocese.

The main function of a Director of Ministry and Development (DMD) is to increase awareness of the CARITAS Mission and to find sponsor families for desperate children, religious sisters, clergy, and seminarians from some of the poorest countries in the world. Each Deacon will have his own poor territory to pray for and help support in many ways from his home base. He may decide to personally travel to the mission territory, grow many relationships, fundraise for special projects, lead mission trips, or maybe even start a parish twinning relationship. The opportunities for ministry are truly vast and it mostly depends on the creativity, talents, and development success of each DMD.

The Deacons who become DMD's for CARITAS should have a natural and heartfelt love for the poor, be skilled in human communication, and have a desire to make a global impact. An excellent candidate for this position will be an enthusiastic preacher, excellent at networking, and preferably have had some mission trip / missionary experience. To be a successful DMD, a Deacon will need to create a positive vision of what is possible, evangelize and share that vision, conduct himself with a can-do attitude and be a go-getter. The opportunities are endless for spreading the Gospel and making tangible differences, but a lot will depend on the funding and development that a DMD generates via increasing sponsorships, donations, grants, and community involvement.

We also have more opportunities for Deacons with unique skills. For a full description, visit us at: https://caritas.us/director-of-ministry-and-development
