We're pleased to share a recent Denver Channel news piece featuring our VP of Programs, Larry Mayes, about the importance of vaccinating our homeless and vulnerable communities.

"The more people who get vaccinated from all walks of life, whether they're homeless or not… it helps all of us as a whole," Mayes said.

One year ago, we welcomed Sister Norma Pimentel and Mohamad Ali, two of the nation's strongest champions for immigrants, for our "This is My Community" speaker series event. In an enlightening panel discussion moderated by WBUR's Tiziana Dearing, Sister Norma and Mr. Ali addressed the faith, economic and humanitarian dimensions of the immigration issue.

As we embark on this Lenten season, we at Catholic Charities of Boston (CCAB) encourage others to give back instead of giving something up. The health and economic impacts of COVID-19 have been especially challenging for our most vulnerable community members, and now, more than ever, we need donor support to help us help our neighbors in need gain access to life's basic necessities. One unique way people can donate to CCAB is through our vehicle donation program in partnership with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS).

Wednesday, February 17, marks the beginning of Lent. This Lenten season, we're asking you to join us in giving back instead of giving something up. Catholic Charities is honored to share messages from some of our community partners who find inspiration in the many ways our neighbors have given back to those most in need, particularly this past year.  

Today, we hear a message from Father John Currie, pastor of Dorchester Catholic.  Please watch Father Currie’s message below and consider joining us as we give back to those in need across our communities this Lent.
