Memorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, Martyrs

Brothers and sisters:
We hold this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.
We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained;
perplexed, but not driven to despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed;
always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body.
For we who live are constantly being given up to death
for the sake of Jesus,so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in
our mortal flesh. 2 Cor 4:7-11

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.

CCUSA assisting Catholic Charities of Jackson (Miss.) in time of need

As you may know, on August 7th ICE raided several chicken processing
plants in the Diocese of Jackson, Miss. Hundreds of people were
arrested and put into detention. In response to the raid, Catholic
Charities of Jackson is requesting assistance from the network, in the
form of deployments to provide case management and/or counseling to
families affected.   The hope is that each of four parishes
assisting the families will be assigned one trauma-informed Spanish
speaking mental health clinician and one case manager. CCUSA is
assisting Catholic Charities of Jackson by providing travel/lodging
reimbursements to agencies which are able to send bilingual, Spanish
speaking staff or well-known, credible Spanish speaking volunteers to
Mississippi to help serve the families in need. Deployed staff or
volunteers must be able to serve for at least seven days. Please
respond with your intention to help directly to Brigid McKeon.
