Every year Christmas reminds us of the hope we have in our Savior, Jesus Christ. We pass that hope on when we share the Gospel message through our words and actions. This year, especially, the world can use hope.
Catholic Charities brings hope to many through various programs; our services continue throughout the pandemic. Many people are suffering financially. If you are able to help Catholic Charities provide Christmas gifts, food or other needs, please send a donation by check or gift cards in $25 increments to Catholic Charities, Diocese of Rockford, P.O. Box 7044, Rockford, IL 61125. Donations can also be made through our website at http://catholiccharities.rockforddiocese.org/donations. Please note in the comments section or on the check that the gift is for Christmas assistance. Thank you for sharing your treasure and Christmas wishes with others.
