Charitable Outreach and Pastoral Support

The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the critical role our pastors play in addressing the needs of their communities. Charitable services like food pantries, pop-up clinics, counseling services, and eldercare are facilitated through the parishes under the guidance and leadership of the pastors. Over ten million meals have been distributed since the start of the pandemic, and the needs continue to grow. Our archdiocesan apostolates are also hard at work serving the faithful through ministries such as Youth Faith Formation and Catechesis, Young Adult Outreach, Family Life and Respect Life, Adult Faith Formation, and Black and Hispanic Ministry.
