The Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) funds more than 30 charitable ministries throughout southern and central Alabama. The largest percentage of the appeal goes to meet social service needs in the Archdiocese. Last year tens of thousands of people received food, clothing, shelter, home repairs, life sustaining prescriptions and other assistance. Counseling, adoption services, and respect life programs are also funded by Catholic Charities. The annual CCA also funds services for the aging and disabled, children whose parents are incarcerated, as well as scholarships for underprivileged students in our Catholic High Schools. College Campus ministry, Hispanic ministry and Stella Maris, the apostleship of the sea, are also supported. The Offices of Religious Education and Youth Ministry also receive funding from the CCA.
By supporting Catholic Charities, you're supporting many ministries throughout the Archdiocese of Mobile, including ministries that:
Serve those with Special Needs
Help the disabled
Care for the sick
Aid for the distressed
"In our archdiocese, many families live below the poverty line, struggling to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. This statistic reflects the urgent call to action that we must answer together as faithful stewards of God's love."
- Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi, Archbishop of Mobile
