In Matthew 25:31-46, we are called to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and welcome the stranger. This mandate – to welcome vulnerable members of our society and offer them the assistance they need – informs and animates all we do at Catholic Charities. During the 2023 Annual Gathering, we will explore ways in which we can “widen our welcome” by enhancing the impact of our existing initiatives and identifying opportunities to serve even more individuals and families in need in our communities.

For more than 110 years, CCUSA’s Annual Gathering has been the pre-eminent convening for Catholic Charities professionals, volunteers and partners to advance our work, strategize about poverty reduction and celebrate our shared identity.
