Catholic Charity

The 2025 Catholic Charity Appeal has officially begun. This year’s theme, “Trust in Providence,” is a powerful reminder of God’s grace and the trust he has placed in us to serve others. Our parish goal remains the same as last year, with an overall diocesan goal of $7.5 million. As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the appeal, let us reflect on a century of hope, compassion and support provided to all those in need throughout our state. Please prayerfully consider a gift to the appeal as we strive for 100% parish participation. Visit DioceseofProvidence.org/ CCA to make your difference today.

SUNDAY SMILE

A man who had been a husband for ten years was consulting a marriage counselor. “When I was first married, I was very happy. When I came home from a hard day at the shop, my little dog would race around barking and my wife would bring me my slippers with a heart-warming smile. Now after all these years everything is changed. Now when I come home, my dog brings me my slippers and my wife barks at me.” “I don’t know what you are complaining about,” said the counselor. “You are still getting the same service.”
