Sowing the Seed of Hope: Catholic Charities 2015 Annual Report
76,305. That’s
the number of children, women and men who we served last year by providing housing,
food, education, counseling, case management and many more of our life-giving
services. Today, we’re releasing our
annual report for Fiscal Year 2015, and we invite you to read through the reflections
and stories. In our report, you’ll learn how Catholic Charities provides
housing to a family, strengthens the faith of another and gives hope to
children for a brighter future. You’ll also hear why our supporters, like you,
stand with us in serving those in need. Thank you for being our partner in
ministry and sowing the seeds of hope. Download the complete 2015 Annual report here.

Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children, The MICAH Project and the New Orleans Master

This year will also mark the first time the CCHD directly addresses poverty on
the Northshore through the creation of affordable workforce housing. For more
