Partners in Charity 2018
Our commitment to put our faith into action through the Annual Partners in Charity Appeal is one particular way in which we invite you to join with thousands of friends around our diocese as we practice charity in our communities.
For example, your pledge of $16 a month will help a group of children with after school programs for a week; a pledge of $50 a month can help a family with an overdue rent bill avoid homelessness that month; a pledge of $200 a month covers the healthcare monitoring of a retired priest for 2 weeks.
Whether you have given annually to this appeal or have not done so in a while, your gift is also an opportunity to express your gratitude to God for all the good that you have received in your lives.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can respond to this year’s Partners in Charity Appeal as we are all called to experience that Faith in Action is Love. Partners in Charity encompasses three specific areas in our diocese: Charity, Education and Ministry. Thousands of people who are served and taught by ministries and agencies supported by Partners in Charity know that the power of Christ is behind the programs that help them.
Children in parish religious education classes and Catholic schools have their eyes, hearts and minds opened to Christ. Young men receive Christ's call to serve and those who have dedicated their lives in service of the priesthood are cared for in their retirement years. Through Catholic Charities and other agencies, families and individuals have their basic needs met in a safe, welcoming and confidential environment.
These vital ministries are staffed by people who act in the spirit of Pope Francis - with love and deep devotion. Your financial and prayerful support of Partners in Charity enables them to put their faith into action and bring Christ to others.
