ACA Inspiring Stories

A Life Transformed With Help through the Annual Catholic Appeal

Catherine, a young woman at age 19, came to Good Shepherd Children & Family Services' maternity shelter with her three-month-old baby. She was parenting without any family support. Catherine applied for jobs with the help of a tutor and the educational coordinator. She was hired in customer service at a local hotel. She met her goals while at Good Shepherd, saved to buy a car, and moved into her own apartment with her baby after six months. Social services like these through Catholic Charities are funded in part by the Annual Catholic Appeal.
 

It’s not too late!

The Annual Catholic Appeal continues through September with an invitation to make a gift that will help many who have been impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak, and many other Social and Human Dignity Programs, Catholic Education, and Missionary Discipleships throughout our archdiocese. Unafraid, we make sacrifices for others, not because they are Catholic, but because We Are Catholic
