2016 Annual Appeal Continues with $100,000 Challenge Grant to Benefit Rose-Mary Homes for the Future

Posted May 16, 2016

The Catholic Charities 2016 Annual Appeal, the most significant annual fundraising effort in the Diocese of Cleveland, will hold a follow up In-Pew Appeal on the weekend of May 21st and 22nd in all parishes throughout the Diocese. A $100,000 Challenge Grant has been offered to match all new, increased and additional Annual Appeal gifts received in the second In-Pew envelopes distributed at Masses, or online at www.CatholicCommunity.org/Challenge.

This year’s second In-Pew Appeal invites Catholics to become partners in the transformation of one of Catholic Charities’ most vital programs and services for children and young adults with developmental disabilities. Rose-Mary has been offering residential care and compassion to those with disabilities for almost 100 years from their facility in Euclid, Ohio. The Appeal will support Rose-Mary’s Homes for the Future, A Community Integration Project, which will close the doors on insitututional care and move all residing children and young adults into seven state-of-the-art community homes, the first of which has opened its doors in Richmond Heights. All dollars raised through this weekend’s In-Pew Appeal will benefit Rose-Mary’s ongoing project in providing for the construction and renovation of these seven group homes.

The 2016 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal has currently raised over $9.5 million and is on track to exceed its goal of $11.5 million. The Annual Appeal raises funds to support one of the largest health and human services organization in the U.S. – one that directly benefits the people of Northeast Ohio. The Most Reverand Richard Lennon, Bishop, Diocese of Cleveland, states, “Last year, the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal raised over $12 million in pledges, a record number and one that reflects the ever-growing amount that is needed to ensure that the poor, the disabled, older adults and families will benefit from Catholic Charities services and programs.”
