Catholic Campaign for Human Development

This weekend is the annual collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). CCHD has been around for almost 50 years with the purpose of granting organizations funds to promote the mission of Jesus Christ, "...to bring good news to the poor...release to captives...sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free" (Luke 4:18).
