Bringing the charity of U.S. Supporters to distant Missions
A fundamental part of the work of the PIME Missionaries in Metro Detroit for decades, the PIME U.S. Mission Center connects the needs of our PIME Missionaries - in 20 countries around the world - with the generosity of supporters in the United States.
Through the PIME Sponsorships at a Distance, Mission Development Projects, and Chapel programs the PIME U.S. Mission Center collects and distributes support to the most isolated and neglected corners of the world. Our local PIME Events provide donors with the opportunity to raise funds for the diverse needs of the missions, while sharing the fellowship of our PIME U.S. Missionaries.
Fr. Daniele Criscione, PIME
PIME U.S. Mission Center Director
As the PIME U.S. Mission Center Director, Fr. Daniele serves to bridge the connection between our supporters in the United States, and those who desperately need help in the missions. Possessing both close friendships with many PIME Missionaries serving abroad and a deep love for the people of the missions, Fr. Daniele is integral in identifying where donor support should go to have the greatest impact. His outgoing personality and love for sharing God’s word are often on display as he leads our PIME events, or when he fills in saying masses around the Detroit area.
Michelle Regner
PIME U.S. Mission Center Administrator
Michelle manages the unique and varying needs of the many aspects of the PIME U.S. Mission Center; from fundraising and distributing support, to organization and oversight of our mission center staff and activities. Annually, Michelle travels to a PIME Mission with Fr. Daniele to see the impact of PIME’s Supporters and assess where additional funding could have the greatest effect. If you have any questions about PIME in the U.S. and around the world, or how you can join us in our merciful work, Michelle would love to talk to you.
