Social Justice Grant Program
In accordance with Catholic Social Teaching and our moral obligation to create a “preferential option for the poor and vulnerable” our parish allocated $22,000 from the Sunday plate collections to help improve the lives of people living in poverty in the US and around the world. Thank you! |
Fair Trade Easter & Advent Sales
Our Fair Trade programs provided parishioners with the opportunity to purchase chocolate produced without the use of forced child labor and trafficking. Through your generous support a total of $11,093 was raised for programs that will directly help disadvantaged workers in developing countries earn a fair wage for their labor. Thank you! |
MedShare
MedShare is a national organization providing medical supplies and equipment for hospitals primarily in the developing world but also for free clinics in the US. On weekends throughout 2019 CCOP parishioners gathered at their San Leandro warehouse to sort and pack donated medical supplies for shipment. Thank you! |
Kids Against Hunger: A Global Solidarity Initiative
Every 6 seconds a child dies, nearly 16,000 every day, because of hunger and related causes. In August 2019 over 200 CCOP parishioners came together to pack over 24,000 nutritious emergency meals for children and families in the Philippines. Thank you! |
Concern America Fair Trade Sale
For over 30 years our parish has sponsored Concern America to help underprivileged workers in developing countries such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico and Bangladesh to earn a fair price for their labor. Through your generous support $4,404 was raised in 2019 and invested back into programs that will directly benefit these artisans and their families. Thank you! |
