Catholic Mission helped more than 370,000 children, 9000 catechists and nearly 3000 seminarians in 2011, according to its annual report for the past year.
National Director Martin Teulan said Catholic Mission is able to deliver services and "able to do more with your donation than other charities" because existing Church workers and religious help deliver the aid, most of whom are volunteers or just work for their food and shelter.
"In supporting the Church you are supporting an organisation with hundreds or thousands of parishioners, like you, reaching out to people in need in their local community.
"In 2011 Catholic Mission in Australia supported the work of the Church in 195 dioceses in 38 countries.
"More than two million Catholics received opportunities to grow spiritually and outreach to others.
"Training was provided for 2,987 seminarians in 14 seminaries and 9,462 catechists.
"Through Catholic Mission, Australians directly supported 371,505 children.
"In turn, these true mission stories of faith and action worldwide provide inspiration to Australian Catholics to make faith sharing, practical care and justice essential ingredients of their Catholic Christian lives."
