Autumn begins today...

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay."
~ Robert Frost, 1923

Submit agency stories to the CCUSA storybank

When you share with us a story about your work and the people you
serve in your local community, we can then share your stories not only
with a national audience but also the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Our
government affairs team goes to the Hill often, and they are able to
represent the Catholic Charities ministry more persuasively when they
can share local stories that demonstrate the success and efficacy of
programs and services. So please share your stories about food
programs, affordable housing, family reunification, integrated health,
social enterprises, and everything you do! Stories that involve the
federal funding you receive are needed especially. We want everyone to
know about the great work you are doing! Submit your stories
here.

Join us for a webinar on Pastoral Migratoria / Immigrant-led Social
Ministry

On Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, four USCCB
departments (Cultural Diversity; Evangelization and Catechesis;
Justice, Peace and Human Development; and Migration and Refugee
Services) will co-sponsor a webinar to share information about
Pastoral Migratoria (PM), an immigrant-led ministry of the Archdiocese
of Chicago to help form immigrant leaders. Immigrant leaders formed
through PM have successfully engaged their respective Hispanic
communities to engage in organizing, advocacy and service. PM is now
working with pastoral teams from other dioceses to introduce this
model of leadership formation in many parts of the U.S. If you have
wondered how to better form and engage Hispanic leaders in work for
justice, then this webinar can help. We encourage diocesan
coordinators of faith formation, Hispanic ministry, social concerns,
and other areas of ministry to participate in this webinar together
and then discern and discuss how learnings from PM are applicable in
your own diocese. Register for the webinar here!
