Your mercy: Transforming lives + communities
The 2018 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal, which kicked off with the in-pew appeal the weekend of Feb. 11, focuses on transformation, a theme central to Pope Francis? message of mercy.
?Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look at the future with hope,? the pope said.
The Catholic Charities Annual Appeal supports the general operating needs of Catholic Charities programs and services to the hungry, homeless, children and families, the disabled, elderly and infirmed and the addicted -- the least among us. The agency serves all, without regard to race, religion or nationality.
This year?s goal is $12.5 million, a $500,000 increase over the 2017 goal. Last year?s appeal exceeded its $12 million goal, raising $12.5 million
