Catholic Charities is excited to announce that our first virtual fundraising event, Together in Spirit, will be airing on Facebook Live on Thursday, June 25, from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Hosted by Catholic Charities’ CEO Cynthia Colbert and Board Chair Ellen Ginty, the event will feature a special message and blessing by His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, and Video Mission Moments of Catholic Charities programs in action.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to postpone our major annual fundraising event, the Spirit of Charity Gala, leaving a significant gap in our revenue. The Together in Spirit virtual event will help us bridge some of this gap, so that we can continue to provide essential services to the community during this time of incredibly high needs for our neighbors. Please join us!
