Donors who support the Appeal help minister to and improve the lives of tens of thousands of people and support the Catholic faith in action.<\/p><p>Donor support bolsters the wide outreach of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River, the largest non-government provider of emergency assistance in the Diocese and a leader in helping those most in need of the corporeal works of mercy. Appeal gifts also help sustain other areas including ministry to the sick; campus ministry, youth, and young adult ministry; and those young men discerning a journey to the priesthood, as well as the Diaconate Program, active clergy, and retired clergy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4cd31f7\" data-id=\"4cd31f7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7c9c0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d7c9c0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"962\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/09\/Fall-River-ACA-Logomark-RGB-1-962x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2418\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/09\/Fall-River-ACA-Logomark-RGB-1-962x1024.jpg 962w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/09\/Fall-River-ACA-Logomark-RGB-1-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/09\/Fall-River-ACA-Logomark-RGB-1-768x818.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/09\/Fall-River-ACA-Logomark-RGB-1.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3fef73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d3fef73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Please help with your contribution to the Catholic Appeal and transform countless lives for the better.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c3cd7d elementor-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"3c3cd7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.givecentral.org\/appeals-form-registration\/acp67cfcf35044a2\/user\/guest\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Make a Donation<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-846187b elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"846187b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicfoundationsema.org\/appeal\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more about the Catholic Appeal<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35895e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"35895e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Catholic Appeal helps people in all phases of life \u2013 from children, to youth, to parents, to the elderly.
