welcome to the catholic union
St Francis Leprosy Guild, the UK's Catholic leprosy charity
Inspired by our patron saint, St Francis of Assisi, we have cared for people with leprosy for 130 years. We operate in twelve countries in Africa, Asia and in Brazil where leprosy is endemic.
More about where we work
By supporting over thirty leprosy centres and projects, we play our part in caring for those affected by the disease and working towards a leprosy-free world.
More about what we do
We fund research, hospitals, rehabilitation centres and capital equipment. We fund Active Case-Finding, a programme that finds, diagnoses and treats people with leprosy before it causes disability and spreads into communities.
More about leprosy
We believe that a leprosy-free world is within sight; if not today, then soon.
