You have made generous sacrifices on behalf of the Cath-

olic Charities Appeal for 2018. Because of your efforts the

poor will be fed and clothed and given medicine. Counseling

services will be made available to families and individuals

who would otherwise not have been able to get professional

help; it is through the Appeal that people receive counseling

family problems. You are the gift to Catholic Charities and
