It is his hope that the Appeal will not be seen as a burden, \u201cbut rather as an opportunity to give thanks, to share our gifts with others, and to serve each other. I pray that we find grace and joy in sharing our resources with those less fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2014 Catholic Charities Appeal raised $4.2 million, a slight dip from the all-time record set in 2013 of $4.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Diocesan Director of Development Jim Campbell there were 31,000 donors to last year\u2019s Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is an admirable number and we are so thankful,\u201d he said, \u201cBut with the participation of additional parishioners in the Appeal, our agencies and service providers could do more to help address the real needs that exist. It\u2019s my hope that more parishioners will consider contributing to the Catholic Charities Appeal along with the many other things they support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Appeal is the one and only time during the year when the Fall River Diocese asks for financial help to fund its charitable agencies and programs, which are open to anyone regardless of creed, race, nationality, gender or economic status. It maintains a low administrative expense ratio: 93 cents of every dollar contributed is directed to the services and programs funded by the Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributions to the Catholic Charities Appeal may be made either through a one-time donation or through a pledge payable over ten months. Donations may be dropped off at any parish in the diocese, made through its website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frdioc-catholiccharities.org\/\">www.frdioc-catholiccharities.org<\/a>, or mailed to the Catholic Charities Appeal Office, P.O. Box 1470, Fall River, MA 02722.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information on the Charities Appeal is available on its website or by calling the Appeal Office at 508-675-1311.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FALL RIVER\u2013 With its theme of \u201cFeed the Hungry, Shelter the Homeless, Comfort the Sorrowful, In His Name\u2026It\u2019s What We Do,\u201d underscoring its critical mission, the 74th annual Catholic Charities &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":31765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crosspost_to_16":false,"_crosspost_to_17":false,"_crosspost_to_18":false,"_crosspost_to_19":false,"_crosspost_to_20":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[154],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[13],"class_list":["post-2288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
