MISSION
Catholic Charities of Buffalo is a Catholic sponsored human service agency serving anyone in need in the eight counties of Western New York. Believing all persons are created by God, we empower individuals, children and families to achieve and maintain meaningful, healthy and productive lives. We advocate for those in need – particularly those who are poor and most vulnerable.
APPEAL
The Catholic Charities appeal begins in January and ends in June of each year.
HOLY SPIRIT PARISH
Holy Spirit parishioners, through their contributions to Catholic Charities have helped support many children and families. The following services were provided to people in the North Collins area – Children services, Food pantries, Senior services, Ladies of Charity, Education and Job services, Basic/Emergency assistance and WIC Nutrition for Children and New Mothers.
We hope the parishioners of Holy Spirit Church will continue to provide generous contributions to the Catholic Charities Appeal. Thank you for helping people in need in our area.
