Are you ready
to Keep The Kids Warm?
We are!
Catholic Charities' annual Keep the Kids Warm campaign begins on the Feast of the Holy Family (December 30) and runs through the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (January 9, 2012). Keep the Kids Warm is an important annual effort to raise utility assistance funds for familites served by Catholic Charities throughout the Diocese of Youngstown!

GOAL SURPASSED! As of January 13, 2012, we received pledges totaling $3,820,584 surpassing our goal of $3.8 million in the 2011 Annual Bishop's Appeal. On behalf of those served through this important Appeal for Catholic Charities and Church, a heartfelt "Thank you" for your generosity.

As we await the coming of the Kingdom of God, let us be that seed, leaven, and light, that brings Good News to life. The poor may always be with us, but if each of us stops on his or her own journey to help a neighbor in need, the Kingdom of God will come closer to realization each day.
