Highlights from CCUSA

Charities USA: The online magazine of CCUSA

The latest issue of Charities USA focuses on how Catholic Charities
agencies engage with Catholic schools. 

[link removed]

You will learn ways Catholic Charities agencies interact with
students: by providing mental health/counseling services and offering
service projects that help the community. For example:

* The School Mental Health Program at Catholic Charities Omaha
that helped a young student deal with thoughts of suicide;

[link removed]

* And the Miracle Projects program of Catholic Charities
Community Services in Phoenix, Ariz., through which a student raised
money to support affordable housing.

As Allison Cavazos, associate director of parish relations at Catholic
Charities Central Texas, said in her article, "Our young people
offer unique talents and perspectives, and they are ready to change
the world for the better."

The stories in this issue remind us that the service of charity will
continue if we have succeeding generations of people who are happy and
healthy, and who know and practice their faith, which Jesus said
consists in this: Love of God and love of neighbor.
