With great joy and gratitude, Catholic Charities and the Ministers of Presence Guild are thrilled to invite you to an in-person Harvest of Hope gathering. On October 2nd, 2021, we will come together to celebrate the generosity that has changed hundreds of thousands of lives since we last met. 

It’s been 22 months since we gathered at our last Harvest of Hope celebration. Since then, Catholic Charities has grown and expanded beyond our existing programs and services in order to do whatever necessary to help families during their most vulnerable times of need. 

It's meant stepping up in new ways to support our community at-large, including redistributing 300,000 lbs. of food from our warehouse to daily soup kitchens and food pantries, delivering 1,200 meal boxes to senior living apartment complexes, holding hundreds of targeted rural outreach events throughout our Diocese, providing hundreds of home-delivered meal boxes to the doorsteps of families infected with COVID-19, and so much more. 

And it was all possible because of you. 

The spiritual and emotional connection you, our donors, have to the mission of Catholic Charities is unlike any other. It’s what makes Catholic Charities so special, it’s what makes Catholic Charities a place where miracles happen every day. This is a time to celebrate.

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Let us rejoice in this day! Rejoice in coming together once again! Rejoice in the HOPE that you’ve made possible for those in the greatest of need.  

We hope you will join us for this special, incredibly meaningful evening. This year’s event will be one to remember. We look forward to seeing all of you as you continue to make an extraordinary impact through your support.

May God bless you always as you continue to share your blessings with others.
