The goal of this newsletter is to highlight the Church’s mission of love—and help your family bring that mission to life at home and in the community.
THIS MONTH'S FOCUS:
👉 CST Theme: Rights of All and Protection of Human Life
🌟 Corporal Work of Mercy: Free the imprisoned; comfort the afflicted
✝️ Scripture: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land…” – Leviticus 25:10
🕊 Saint: St. Maria Goretti (Feast: July 6)
July – Rights of All & Protection of Human Life
This July, protect the vulnerable
🔗 July 30 marks World Day Against Trafficking in Persons—a reminder that freedom is still out of reach for too many. Your support ensures survivors receive trauma-informed care, legal support, and pathways to healing.
Help us advocate. Donate. Share our social media posts to raise awareness.
🎒 As the new school year approaches, we are also thinking about families who are struggling to make ends meet. Each year, our Auburn office puts on the Pack-A-Backpack drive to fill new backpacks with school supplies for families in need. You can lend a hand by donating new school supplies at our Auburn office.
Reflect:
Freedom is a gift meant for everyone. This month, we pray and work for the protection of all who suffer injustice or exploitation.
Act:
✅ Support Catholic Charities’ work or another organization that works with trafficking survivors
✅ Share advocacy links or contact your legislator about protections
✅ Donate hygiene items for survivors or transitional homes
✅ Light a candle at dinner and offer a prayer for the dignity of every person
