CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT COLLECTION
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development collection is today at all Masses. While many Americans enjoy prosperity, poverty is rising. Nearly 36 million Americans & one in six children live in poverty. One in eight Americans struggles to find affordable housing, splits prescription medicine in half, or works more than one job to make ends meet. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development helps people change the conditions that keep them living in poverty.
