Your Impact
“Did you know that 1 in 5 people across the Greater Philadelphia area rely on the Catholic Charities Appeal for help and hope each year?
They are our neighbors, and they are our brothers and sisters in Christ. They are seeking comfort, support, and dignity in the face of challenges many of us cannot imagine. Your generosity touches their lives in profound ways because you embody Christ’s compassionate love and mercy by coming to their aid.
My recent pastoral letter, reflected on our shared call to renewal and to become Missionary Disciples. We are called to rebuild trust, extend Christ's love to those distant from the Church, and invite everyone into a deeper encounter with Him.
You are living out this mission through your support of the Catholic Charities Appeal—bringing hope to the vulnerable, comfort to the suffering, and light to those in darkness. Together, as Missionary Disciples, we can ensure that everyone in our community knows they have a home in the Church and that God loves them beyond measure.”
– Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez, D.D.
Archbishop of Philadelphia
