Who leads in different congregations in a Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic congregations around the world are divided into regional areas called diocese, or in cases where there is a higher number of Catholics in the population, archdiocese. These are lead by a bishop or archbishop. Each congregation within each diocese/archdiocese is led by a priest. This priest is called the pastor of that church. The pastors are appointed by the bishop of the diocese/archdiocese, and are not bound to one church, but may be transferred from congregation to congregation as the bishop sees fit. Every priest in a diocese answers to their bishop. Every bishop and archbishop is appointed directly by the Pope, who is the head of the Catholic Church and believed by Catholics to be the successor of St. Peter, the first pope. It is this way that the Roman Catholic Church traces its roots directly back to Jesus and claims to be the one true Church. The succession of every bishop and archbishop can also be traced directly back to Peter.

Your question reveals an ignorance of what "the Catholic Church" is. Each individual bishop rules a diocese, and each diocese is an autonomous Catholic Church. Even the Pope is just the Bishop of Rome. Thus each individual diocese contributes whatever its Bishop decides to use to support the individual Caritas in his diocese or his country, you would have to check with each individual diocese or archdiocese, of which there are 2,845 "particular" Churches, which, together, are collectively called "The Catholic Church".
