Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our diocese will take up the national collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) on Nov. 18-19. Your support for this collection brings change to communities across the country and empowers people living in poverty to transform the places they live into reflections of the Kingdom of God. In addition to making an impact nationally, those living in poverty in our own diocese are empowered through the 25% share of our collection that stays here.
CCHD-funded groups in our diocese help individuals and families learn to express themselves and to effect change when the homes they rent are unsafe. Support from CCHD helps workers who lack safe working conditions or have not received promised wages. At its core, CCHD helps individuals maintain their God-given human dignity at work and home and, in doing so, supports children and families. These are a few examples of the ways in which the collection assists people in our communities. Click here to read complete letter.
