On the following pages you will learn about some of the ways that the $17.2 million given by Catholics like you have brought life, hope, and new unity in 2022. The impacts are as personal as the nun who helped a father in Ohio reunite with his sons from Mexico. They are as compassionate as the parish ioners who accompany Ukrainian refugees as they adapt to life in the United States. They are as crucial as the peace conference you sponsored for South Korean Catholics to discuss paths to reconciliation with North Korea. They are as practical as the new water systems you subsidized in drought-stricken Africa. And they are as promising as the cross-cultural conversations you made possible among young Catholic adults. When you encounter signs that our society is fragmenting, know that your Church is working against such division. Your gifts to The Catholic Relief Services Collection are making that good work possible. When you put the envelope in the parish collection basket for The Catholic Relief Services Collection, or give through your parish’s e-offertory system, you build a better world.
