From: Vanessa Russell, CEO, Catholic Charities Atlanta
The year’s call to serve has been more desperate than ever. Financial coaching, parenting and mental health counseling have all been areas of great need during the pandemic. When the events in Afghanistan unfolded, we were called to do even more. Catholic Charities Atlanta (CCA) stands ready to help our brothers and sisters in need all year long. The Christmas second collection is an opportunity for parishioners to hear about our mission.
We have created a two-minute video in which clients speak about the impact we have had on their lives. It is in English with a version that has Spanish sub titles. We also created an ad in English and Spanish that can be used in your parish bulletin or e-newsletter reminding them about the second collection. If you would like to use these materials and have any questions, please contact Mary Cloyce Collins at mccollins@ccatlanta.org.
Thank you for the work you do every day to help those in need. Together we are bringing our faith to life and reminding those who struggle that they are not alone.
Blessings and good health.
