Charity begins at home. But as Christians, we are called to reach beyond our individual households and neighborhoods, and to live in spiritual solidarity with our brothers and sisters in our larger community and throughout the world. And as Catholics, we are given unique opportunities to make these broader connections through Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official global outreach ministry of the U.S. Catholic Church.

We encourage you to check this page and the parish bulletin regularly for these opportunities to be the compassionate face of Christ to the world.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions:

Participate in the 2019 Bread for the World Offering of Letters after the Masses on April 6 and 7.

This year, we need to ask Congress to accelerate progress toward ending hunger by increasing funding for global nutrition programs.

This annual effort is sponsored by Bread for the World, a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad.
 
We ask you to take a few minutes after Mass to personalize a brief letter to your senator or representative.

Your handwritten support will carry even more weight than an email or a phone call. On a later weekend, our letters will be blessed during Mass. Then they will be combined with those from many other churches and personally delivered to the local congressional offices.
