A message from Marlene…
Dear Friends,
First and foremost, a sincere thank you for all that you do to support us in helping the most vulnerable members of our Rochester family. The generosity shown to Catholic Family Center throughout the holidays reminds me how very blessed CFC is to be part of such a caring community, and I can only hope we can continue to spread that generosity and love around.
We have been making many big steps with this aim in mind recently, from the grand re-opening of our Sanctuary House for women and children who have nowhere and nothing else to fall back on, to our #SeeTheirStories video project. This project has allowed us to share refugee stories in such a way that you, their neighbors, might engage in a dialogue of the great gifts, love, and hope these families bring to Rochester. You can read more about all of these developments in this newsletter!
I sincerely invite you to join us on March 10th for our Gala fundraiser, kicking off our next 100 years of bringing hope to those who need it most!
In love and gratitude,
Marlene
