"Jesus told Martha,'I am the resurrection and the
life; 
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, 
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. 
Do you believe this?' 
She said to him, 'Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that
you are the Messiah,
the Son of God, the one who is coming into the
world'" (John 11:25-27).

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
