Pledge Catholic...on Giving Tuesday!

Today is #GivingTuesday 2025. This global day of giving and generosity is here. This day is set aside to offer us a wonderful opportunity to turn our gratitude into action. We have all received immense gifts and blessings from God; may this day inspire us to share His boundless generosity with others.

The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God. (2 Cor 9:10-11)

Responding to God's grace with heartfelt devotion.

Giving Tuesday offers a powerful opportunity to move beyond appreciation and actively express our gratitude. This special day unites faithful people worldwide; spurring them to raise vital awareness and make meaningful financial contributions to the charitable missions they champion. 

In various secular forums, a compelling argument for legacy has emerged: the greatest display of love for children and grandchildren is to support organizations dedicated to creating a better world. Yet, in the ensuing calls for philanthropic giving, the vast and enduring contributions of the Catholic Church are conspicuously absent. 

We know the Catholic Church is supported and sustained by God and will be here forever. But, serving as the hands and feet of Jesus, we can do our part in ensuring the reach of the Church expands its Corporal Works of Mercy to the ends of the earth. 

Additionally, our Catholic Action for Faith and Family 'family' hold the profound theological belief the Catholic Church is the sole institution ordained for the salvation of souls. Though we support, acknowledge, and value the widespread fulfillment of the Corporal Works of Mercy by numerous organizations, the Spiritual Works of Mercy constitute a higher calling—the paramount, intrinsic labor of the Church as the Body of Christ.

Now is the Time to Pledge Catholic!

A Pew Research survey indicates that for every 100 new Catholics, more than 800 people leave the Church. Just 43% of the people raised Catholic still self-identify as Catholic. There are many other alarming trends to suggest our long-term future is far from secure. There are not enough priests being ordained in practically every diocese (except in Asia and Africa) to maintain their current level of priests. Baptisms are down, Catholic marriages are down, the Church influence is weaker than it has ever been. Catholic funerals and burials are significantly down. Instead of a funeral mass and burial in a Catholic cemetery, celebrations of life have become very common (assuming the soul of their loved one is already in heaven), as well as cremating a loved one and keeping their ashes in the home – or even scattering them!

Can we agree the Works that the works of mercy are not for sale? 

Let's ponder for just a moment a future world without the Catholic Church. Committed to doing our part to have a Church as vibrant as possible, let's take this opportunity of Giving Tuesday to choose to make a meaningful impact by prioritize pledging Catholic!

Secondly, on this special day of Giving Tuesday, I humbly ask that you keep our mission in your considerations and help us make a profound impact with your generous gift. Please click here to give! In our monumental mission to reclaim and transform our nation and the world for Jesus Christ, every single contribution, no matter how small, is a crucial resource. Every penny fuels our efforts to expand His Kingdom.

Our mission is clear at Catholic Action for Faith and Family: Restoring our society to its foundational Christian order by strengthening Faith and Family according to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Therefore, your donation is crucial for us to continue to carry this mission that was founded over 16 years ago by myself and Cardinal Burke.

After meeting with His Eminence, I strongly believe our most important, ground-breaking year, will be in 2026, across all of our programs.

Rest assured that we are determined more than ever to:

• Recruit both Catholic Religious and the Laity worldwide to join together for Operation Storm Heaven as we continue to march to our goal of 1,000,000 members worldwide praying in unison on the first of every month.
• Advance Cardinal Burke’s apostolates designed to guard the Catholic faith handed down by the Apostles and hold together in a Catholic way, doctrine, morals and praxis.
• Usher in a new era of evangelization and formation with our Catholic Action Insight™ podcast and interview series.
• Moving forward in growing our Faithful Echo Movement dedicated to drawing the clergy and the lay faithful in ever closer unity to combat the darkness of the present confusion, error and division in the Church.
• Introduce other programs, campaigns and events that will be announced early in the upcoming new year. [Stay-tuned in particular as we approach 2026 to answer a collective call for all prayer warriors to Storm Heaven together 'all year' with special prayers and intentions for our faithfully departed souls in purgatory] 

Your gift of $20, or more, will sustain and enable us to continue to bring the light of Truth and to bring Hope to faithful families, as well as our initiatives dedicated to supporting priests and seminarians. Thank you in advance for your generosity! 

May God through the Blessed Virgin Mary bless you and all of your loved ones immensely.

Yours gratefully in Christ,

Thomas J. McKenna
