“Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from darkness, and darkness around you will be as bright as day. The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy. You will be like a wellwatered garden, like an ever-flowing spring” (Isaiah 58:10-11).
In keeping with this spirit, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of HoumaThibodaux serves the missionary heart of the church by addressing needs of individuals and families, while providing opportunities for disciples to put their faith into action. Each day we serve our community through four primary pillars: Feeding, clothing, sheltering and comforting our people.
The services of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux are made possible by the generosity of our community, especially through our Christmas Collection. Since of the month of July, our ministries have served the community as follows: • Feeding Ministry has served 641 households. • Clothing Ministry has served 20 households.
• Sheltering Ministry served 155 individuals and families. • Comforting ministries have served 194 individuals and families.
During this season, I ask that you continue to put your faith into action as we serve the less fortunate within our surrounding community. Please join me in supporting Catholic Charities through a financial gift in the Christmas Collection.
Please know that we are eternally grateful for your prayers and gifts. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family abundantly this Christmas and throughout the new year! (Chamon L. Williams is the executive director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.) BC
