Christmas Second Collection - Commonwealth Catholic Charities
Each Christmas Season, parishes across the Diocese of Richmond host a 2nd collection for the benefit of Catholic Charities. Despite the ongoing challenges and growing community need resulting from the pandemic, CCC has never wavered from serving our most vulnerable neighbors. Whether that is responding to the Afghan refugee crisis, providing groceries to families without food, ensuring mothers and their babies have a safe place to live, and beyond – CCC is there to help. CCC now needs your help in supporting these critical ministries through the Christmas Second Collection. If you are paying with a check, please make the check out to Saint Benedict Catholic Church and in the memo section write "CCC 2025 Collection".
Saint Benedict is partnering again this year with Commonwealth Catholic Charities to assist with their Angel Tree program, providing the children under their care a memorable Christmas experience. The foster care program of CCC provides care to children who are victims of human trafficking and refugee children, who remain in the custody of the CCC until the age of 21. We will also provide gift cards for mothers at Mary's Choice RVA. Mary’s Choice provides a Christ-centered program of guidance and support for women facing a crisis during pregnancy.
Please return the gifts under the tree no later than the weekend of December 6-7. Please DO NOT wrap the presents, but bring them in a gift bag with the angel attached to the outside of the bag. For the gift cards, please place these in the marked box. Anything given is greatly appreciated.
