Catholic Charities USA was founded more than a century ago by women and men who believed that the collective efforts of the church to faithfully serve people in need could change the course of poverty in our nation.

A vehicle that’s no longer of use to you could be the perfect means for CCUSA to make a difference in someone’s life.

Maximize your impact and support Catholic Charities with a Donor Advised Fund with an initial investment of $2,500.

Prayer & Reflection - April 9, 2023 - “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!” For some, the accounts of Jesus’ resurrection in the Gospels are beautiful stories of an event experienced by the disciples long ago. We believe that Jesus has risen from the dead based on these accounts, but do we realize resurrection’s implications in our own lives?…

Prayer & Reflection - April 7, 2023 - Isaiah sings the Song of the Suffering Servant; the words have hard edges and the melody is wrenching. It is an intimate Song, and that’s where the pain of Divine rejection is sharply revealed. Good Friday is one of the most powerful days of the year for us as believers. God goes to the mat…

Prayer & Reflection - March 27, 2023 - As I prayed with today’s readings — the disturbing story of Susanna in the Book of Daniel, the all-too-familiar words of Psalm 23, and Jesus’ challenging the Pharisees in John’s Gospel — I asked God for help in seeing what God wants to show me in these stories. The piece that caught my attention is…

Prayer & Reflection - March 24, 2023 - “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34) Those of us who have the privilege of serving in the field of immigration legal services know all too well what it means to be “close to the brokenhearted.” Families needlessly separated for decades by outdated immigration laws. Mothers deported away from their children. Asylum seekers…

Prayer & Reflection - March 22, 2023 - For the past 5+ years, I have served in the Office of Living Justice with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay. During this time, I have often marveled at the people I have encountered who are living the mission of peace and justice in their own lives and challenging me to do the…

Prayer & Reflection - March 21, 2023 - And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live…and will grow all kinds of trees for food… whose fruit will be for food and whose leaves for healing.Ez 47: 9 In today’s Gospel Jesus is persecuted for healing on the Sabbath. He encounters a…

Prayer & Reflection - March 17, 2023 - When the scribe asks Jesus, “which is the first of all the commandments?” he poses a real challenge: there are 613 commandments in the Torah, and he asks Jesus to pick just one. But Jesus knows that the commandment to love God is primary, so his response satisfies the scribe. Then he adds that they…

Prayer & Reflection - March 14, 2023 - Jesus talks about forgiveness a lot for someone who, being a perfect person, presumably never needed to be forgiven himself. He only did the hard part – freely forgiving others for their wrongdoings while never experiencing the consolation of being forgiven by someone else. Why is it that the same sinful nature which requires me…

Prayer & Reflection - March 10, 2023 - Joseph, Jesus, and Jealousy Jealousy is an interesting emotion to sit with during Lent’s middle dredges. Jealousy hopefully sits on the outside of the skin to be dealt with honestly and quickly. When it sits inside and festers it can lead to egregious errors or even sin. The mystery of taking forty days in our…
