Pope Leo XIV Shares Gratitude with the Catholic Charities Network

As Catholic Charities USA marked its 115th Annual Gathering in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pope Leo XIV shared a heartfelt message of encouragement and an Apostolic Blessing for all who serve through Catholic Charities across the nation.

“May Christ continue to accompany you and give you His joy and peace,” the Holy Father wrote, expressing gratitude for those who “see and serve Him in the poor, hungry, homeless, and people in any kind of need.”

At Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, we are honored to be part of this nationwide mission of mercy—serving as agents of hope for individuals and families in need across our communities.
