The clock is ticking, but there is still time for you to bring hope to those who need it most.

Tonight, as the world counts down to midnight, someone is counting on you.

A mother is wondering how she’ll keep the lights on next week.
A child is praying for warmth, food, and a safe place to sleep.
A retired priest sits quietly in his room, still faithful, still praying—for you.

As Catholics, we know that the strength of our Church is found in our unity, in the love we show, the prayers we offer, and the generosity we extend to others by supporting the Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Together, we are building a community rooted in faith, compassion, and hope.

We are so close to reaching our $10 million goal—but we cannot do it without you.

Every prayer, every act of kindness, and every gift to CCA brings Christ’s love to life for someone in need across our parishes, schools, and communities.

Your gift tonight is more than charity. It’s the answer to a prayer.

Please, give before the year ends. Be the light someone is waiting for.

Before the clock strikes midnight, you can change a life.

He once lit the Advent wreath with a steady hand and a hopeful heart, proclaiming the coming of Christ in crowded churches.

He blessed marriages, baptized babies, held the hands of the sick, and offered comfort through every season of life.

He gave everything year after year, season after season.

Now, in quieter days, he lights a single candle in his small chapel.

His steps are slower, but his hope burns just as bright.

He still prays for us. Still believes. Still waits for Christ with the same faith he once helped us find.

And thanks to the Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, he is never alone.

This Advent, your gift brings warmth, care, and dignity to retired and infirm priests who spent their lives serving others.

Be the light they once were for you, by making a gift to CCA today at catholiccharitiesappeal.org/donate

Earlier this week, the Church rejoiced in the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and celebrated that from the first moment of her existence, Mary was preserved from original sin, prepared by grace to bear Christ incarnate for the salvation of the world.

This mystery reminds us that God’s love can transform every person and every moment into vessels of grace emanating His boundless love.

In Mary, we see what it means to be full of grace. Through the works of mercy sustained by the Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, we see how that grace continues to work through you.

Because of your generosity:
• Families in crisis find food and shelter.
• Children with special needs grow in confidence and faith.
• Our retired priests are cared for with love and dignity.
• Diverse parish communities remain strong and welcoming.

This Advent, as we continue to honor Mary’s Immaculate Conception, may we echo her grace and generosity of heart with lives of mercy, generosity, and love.
