LETTER FROM THE BISHOP Dear Friends in Christ, Right now, many American families are struggling to make ends meet. As people are laid off, lose homes to foreclosure, lose health insurance, and watch their retirement funds disappear, it may be difficult to think of others in need. However, financial struggles have become even harder for the nearly 40 million Americans who have been living in poverty. For nearly 40 years, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has offered a solution to poverty by funding low-income community groups all over the United States that find lasting solutions to the root causes of poverty. CCHD supports the poor and low-income families in acquiring affordable housing, fair wages, access to health care and vocational training. The leaders of CCHD-funded groups are low income community members who want to change their situation for a lifetime.In Catholic social teaching, we are called: To bring glad tidings to the poor … Our support of CCHD is vital to solving poverty in the United States. Please join me in praying for those affected by the weak economy, those whose struggles are magnified by it, and those who are working to create solutions to it. Sincerely yours in Christ,
