Our special collection today supports the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. This collection funds programs that empower local communities to address the challenges they face. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development supports those living in poverty across the country. It identifies and addresses the unique obstacles people face as they work to lift themselves out of poverty. In addition, 25% of the funds we collect remain in our diocese to fund local anti poverty projects. By supporting this collection, you are giving those on the margins a hand up, not a hand out. Please be generous.
