A message from archbishop pérez
The Catholic Charities Appeal of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia was established in 1958 to help fund social services.
"This Year, I'm Asking You...
...to be an instrument of Hope. When you donate to the Catholic Charities Appeal, you transform this response envelope from a piece of paper into a vessel of hope. That vessel will find its way to the many deserving people who rely on you. The CCA is our largest annual fundraiser in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and with good reason. Donations directly support over 180 beneficiary organizations, programs, and ministries, touching the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in need throughout the region, living in every county, town, and neighborhood. When you place your gift in this envelope, it becomes hope for the most vulnerable among us. It becomes an opportunity for those in critical need of a helping hand. It becomes a bridge for those in need of shelter and recovery programs. This envelope brings us together as a community. I’m asking you to please support this year’s Catholic Charities Appeal. Your gift, no matter the amount, makes a tremendous impact. Compassion and love are at the heart of the Appeal. A donation to the CCA provides a second chance and an opportunity for a better life through hundreds of local ministries.”
