Happy 30th Anniversary!

Since 1996, FaithWorks has raised $45 million and helped hundreds of thousands of people. Last year alone, over 52,000 people were impacted by the work of FaithWorks’ ministry partners. Together, we help improve the lives of vulnerable people facing difficult challenges.

The mission statement of FaithWorks is from the Gospel according to Matthew 25:35,36, 40.

Jesus said, “I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was sick, and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.” … and Jesus finishes, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

With the staggering increase in the need for assistance these last few

years, these words of Jesus give us inspiration and guidance.

The 30^th anniversary campaign is also turning to Jesus’ miracle of the feeding of the multitude for inspiration and guidance. We are being reminded, as “Jesus fed the multitude, now it’s our turn to help.” We are being challenged to “give extra for food.” Our hope is to exceed our annual goal of $1.5 million needed to meet our ongoing commitments and use the extra funds to assist parish food insecurity programs. To realize this hope, we are asking 100% of parishes to participate in this anniversary campaign by setting a fundraising goal that exceeds their 2025 FaithWorks contribution by at least 1% of their overall offertory amount – 100 + 1%.

We invite you to take up the challenge! Stay tuned for more details.
