"Supporters and patrons gathered to celebrate Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan’s annual gala and the presentation of the 'Time, Talent and Treasure Awards' on Sept. 7 at Petruzello’s Banquet Center in Troy.
Nearly 400 guests joined to support the year’s featured mission, 'Walking With Moms in Need,' a partnership between the Archdiocese of Detroit and Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, which equips and assists Catholic parishes and parishioners in raising awareness about resources that assist pregnant and parenting moms in need.
All funds raised during the gala will go toward furthering the Walking With Moms in Need mission...
Walking With Moms in Need is a critical ministry to help make parishes a refuge for expecting mothers, Paul Propson, Catholic Charities CEO, told those gathered.
'Our bishops here in the United States call upon all Catholics and all Catholic parishes to be islands of mercy in a sea of indifference, walking with moms in need in our community, making our parishes a place of refuge and welcome, rich with resources and accompaniment,' Propson said. 'With the encouragement of Archbishop Vigneron, Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan has joined the effort to help create these islands of mercy in our parishes, which become all the more essential with the passage of Proposal 3 in Michigan last year.'"
