Share you story with the Catholic Charities network

CCUSA's Storybank, a tool that allows staff of Catholic
Charities member agencies - and anyone touched by the Catholic
Charities ministry - to share insights and memories of people
realizing their inherent dignity: stories that relate everything from
overcoming an addiction to finding sustainable employment and
affordable housing. One of the best ways to make an impact on the
important issues that the Catholic Charities ministry addresses is to
show how people are actually helped: what was the specific issue?; how
was it resolved?; what did Catholic Charities do?; was there a
government program that was essential to the process? The stories
collected through this tool will be used to raise national awareness
of the work of the Catholic Charities network including, but not
limited to, posting to CCUSA's website and online platforms,
sharing with national media outlets and policymakers, and featuring in
future issues of Charities USA. Please note: All submissions will
clearly credit the respective member agency. SUBMIT YOUR STORY HERE

The Laudato Si' Action Platform

Pope Francis is challenging Catholic communities and organizations
across the world - including Catholic Charities agencies - to
gradually work toward "total sustainability" in our common call to
care for creation. This invitation is centered upon a Laudato
Si' Action Platform through which Catholic organizations
publicly commit to a seven-year journey of ecological conversion. The
action platform is framed across seven Laudato Si' goals which
reflect Catholic Social Teaching and provide "footsteps"
in areas such as education, spirituality, the adoption of sustainable
practices, community engagement, and a commitment to address poverty.
Registration to commit to this process has now opened and will
conclude on October 4, the Feast of Saint Francis. Read more
here. You may also reach out to Scott Hurd, Vice President for
Leadership Development and Catholic Identity at CCUSA.
