Tips for Parishes From Parishes around our Archdiocese To effectively promote the

Catholic Campaign for Human Development:

1 week before: Use the resources provided by CCHD…   

Put up the CCHD Poster Staple flyers and envelopes to the bulletin (if bulletins are received at the end of Mass). Include provided bulletin announcement in your bulletin. Next week, our second collection will be for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Over 46 million people in the United States live in poverty. This collection supports programs to empower people to identify and address the obstacles they face as they work to lift themselves out of poverty. By supporting this collection you give people a hand up, not a hand out.

Más de 46 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos viven en situación de pobreza. Esta colecta financia programas que empoderan a las personas para identificar y encarar los obstáculos que enfrentan mientras que tratan de salir de la pobreza. Al dar su apoyo a esta colecta, ustedes están dándole a la gente una mano, no una limosna. Infórmense más acerca de la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano en www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.

Staple flyers and envelopes to the bulletin (if bulletins are received before Mass begins). Place envelopes and flyers in the pews and entrance area. Include the following bulletin announcement: Please be generous in this week’s second collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. In the United States, one in six people lives in poverty. With this collection you support programs that address the causes of poverty and provide a sustainable future for those who are struggling across the country. In addition, 25 percent of funds collected remains in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this collection and work on the margins. Por favor, sean generosos en la segunda colecta de esta semana para la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano. En los Estados Unidos, una de cada seis personas vive en situación de pobreza. Con esta colecta ustedes dan su apoyo a programas que tratan con las causas de la pobreza y brindan un futuro sostenible a aquellos que están luchando en todo el país. Además, el 25 por ciento de los fondos recaudados permanecerán en nuestra diócesis para financiar proyectos anti-pobreza en nuestra área. Por favor, en oración, piensen en cómo dar su apoyo a esta colecta y trabajar en la periferia.
