Providing Help…Creating Hope

Dear Friends,    

Catholic Charities has been a resource for the poor for over one hundred years in the North Country and we continue to provide programs and services in response to the needs of the most vulnerable members of our communities. We see the hungry, the homeless, the addicted, the sick, the lonely, and all those who are suffering.    

But Catholic Charities has never done this alone and cannot do it alone now. We need our volunteers, our supporters and our benefactors to be part of this mission of charity and justice.    It is your financial gift to Catholic Charities that allows us to respond:   

• To the parents with a sick child who need help with transportation to Syracuse or Burlington.
• To a family in need of home heating fuel to keep their family warm.
• To the parent and teen who are in a family crisis and need a compassionate counselor.
• A senior citizen in need of assistance to pay for essential medication.

Some examples of the people who we were able to help this past year:

• TB writes “I am very thankful and much appreciative for Catholic Charities ...this organization  helped me  when I needed it the most... with getting my car fixed and being able to purchase Christmas presents for my kids at Christmas time. . . if it wasn’t for Catholic Charities, things would have just continued to fall apart!!”
• " At Seaway House, I have found a general sense of acceptance for each individual person."
• "Staff are willing to go the extra mile to get the job done."

These and thousands of individuals come to Catholic Charities across our Diocese of Ogdensburg …and because of your financial gift, Catholic Charities can be there for them.   Your financial gift will provide essential programs and services to people throughout all eight counties that we serve.

Through providing help…Let us create hope .

With gratitude,

Deacon Patrick J. Donahue, LMSW D. Min Diocesan Director
