Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our diocese will soon take up the national collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). Your support for this collection brings change to communities across the country and empowers those living in poverty to transform the places they live into reflections of the Kingdom of God. In addition to making an impact nationally, those most in need in our own diocese are empowered through the 25% share of our collection that stays here.
The Diocese of Davenport has a long history of involvement with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. It goes back to the mid-1970s when Msgr. Marvin Mottet was the national director of what was then known as the Campaign for Human Development. His model of the Two Feet of Social Action provided a context for the national commitment of helping those living and working in poverty achieve economic justice.
