In celebration of Mother’s Day, the local Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Philadelphia Advocacy Chapter is offering a unique way to honor mothers around the world while supporting CRS’s life-saving work.

Sponsored by the CRS Philadelphia Advocacy Chapter, the event will run through Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 11, 2025.  The faithful are invited to make a donation to CRS in the name of the mothers in their life – including grandmothers, friends, aunts, sisters, cousins, and all others who hold motherly roles. Upon donation, CRS will mail a post card to those being celebrated.

All proceeds from the drive will benefit Catholic Relief Services’ global work to lift communities and countries out of poverty and help people access food, water, and life-saving medicine. To make a donation, visit here.

For additional information or to request additional postcards, please contact Anne Ayella at aayella@archphila.org.
