Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

“Arise”, the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal calls us to renewed hope and a deepened commitment to serve our neighbor. The call to “Arise” challenges us to put our personal faith into action and provide for the needs of our sisters and brothers, no matter who they may be.
Your gift enables the diocese to continue works of charity, formation in faith, education and catechesis. It provides programs and ministries that feed the hungry and counsel the homeless who live among us; help youth develop their minds and grow in faith; sustain our priests, active and retired; prepare men for the diaconate and the priesthood; provide Catholic education through scholarships; and much more.
Catholic Charities of Fairfield County continues to be a clear leader in providing social services serving our neighbors in need during the crisis began. Catholic Charities programs have remained open providing a broad array of essential services to the most vulnerable members of our community. Catholic Charities is a leading provider of critical food resources throughout the County serving over 1.3 million meals since the COVID crisis began to the homeless, the homebound elderly, and individuals who lost jobs due to the pandemic via our soup kitchens, food pantries, Meals on Wheels program, as well as our Room to Grow pre-school. Your Gift will truly change lives. Joe, a homeless US ARMY veteran who lives in his car and receives breakfast and lunch every day at the Thomas Merton Center said: “If it wasn’t for the Thomas Merton Center I don’t know how I would survive. I feel so welcome and valued here” However, Catholic Charities cannot do it alone. Your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal will help Catholic Charities continue to do the incredible work that it does for our most vulnerable neighbors in Fairfield County. Thank you for your gift.
