The Blessed Nuno Society is a mission society and prayer apostolate officially recognized by the Catholic Church as a diocesan Private Association of the Christian Faithful. 

The Blessed Nuno Society issues grants to projects that support orphans in the United States, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean which are unable or unlikely to get sufficient help from the larger well known relief organizations.  Grants are awarded only after one or more member volunteers visit the site .  The Society normally  works in collaboration with local organizations who know and understand the local situation.

Some of the items provided to the children from the grants given by the society include school supplies, shoes, clothing, blankets, food, housing and classroom additions, appliances and of course, toys.   

The Blessed Nuno Society began when a small group of Americans gathered in Fatima, Portugal in 1985. Inspired by the words of a local priest, the Americans began to form the Society under the direction of Bishop Constantino Luna.  The Society was incorporated in the United States the following year and is now headquartered in, and afffiliated with, the Catholic Diocese of Duluth in Minnesota.
