Dear Chaplains, Chaplain Assistants, Youth Leader Trainers, Youth Leaders, and Youth Members,
As we approach Thanksgiving, we are reminded of the incredible impact we can make together. For the sixth year, the VEYM's National Executive Committee is excited to continue our Giving Tuesday tradition, an annual campaign to raise funds for those most in need. Over the past five years, your generosity has helped us raise over $120,000, with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to charity in VEYM's name.
This Year's Giving Tuesday Campaign for Charity - December 3, 2024
This Giving Tuesday, we are honored to partner with the Dicastery for Charity Services (Elemosineria Apostolica), the Holy Father's special office for charitable activities serving the most vulnerable across the globe. Under the leadership of Cardinal Krajewski, the Pope's Almoner, this office acts as Pope Francis's "Emergency Field Hospital," providing direct assistance to those facing extreme poverty, social exclusion, and natural disasters.
Your donations will support the Holy Father's personal charitable initiatives, helping to:
- Provide emergency aid to victims of crisis and natural disasters
- Support communities facing extreme poverty
- Deliver essential medical supplies and food to areas of urgent need
- Assist marginalized populations across the globe
The Dicastery embodies Pope Francis's vision of a Church that reaches out to those on the margins, serving as a beacon of hope and mercy. Through this campaign, we have the unique opportunity to join in the Holy Father's mission of bringing Christ's love to those most in need.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families who turn to the Church in their hour of need. Let us embrace this opportunity to put our faith into action and demonstrate the transformative power of Christian charity.
