People of Hope Museum
This May, more than 500 people visited the People of Hope Museum during its stops in Horseheads and Rochester. This traveling exhibit is an initiative of Catholic Charities USA and features powerful testimonials about the impact of Catholic Charities and neighbors helping neighbors. The two-day event included opportunities to engage with the six agencies of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rochester, including CCFCS. In addition, Rochester Bishop John Bonnici took time to greet visitors. We are truly honored to have been among the first stops on the national tour of People of Hope. To follow the museum's progress across the country, visit https://peopleofhope.us.
