is definitely not a missionary group. It is the second largest relief organization in the world, (after CARE), and yes, it's part of the Catholic charities network but they do zero missionary work anywhere in the world.
I know this because my brother has worked for them for 20 years, (director of south and SE Asia regions), and he is not religious in the least. Same with his wife.
